Monmouth Ventures

Mickey C. Chadha, founder and Managing Partner, oversees all investment decisions. Partner Bret Hodgson supports deal execution and portfolio monitoring. The small team ensures the family office makes direct calls on each deal.

The firm generates deal flow through Chadha's network built in real estate and healthcare, plus direct outreach to founders. It targets companies where it can add value through board participation and strategic guidance, often sourcing deals that are off the radar of larger venture firms.

It is a single-family office for the Chadha family. It does not raise external capital or charge management fees. All investments are made from family wealth, allowing flexible holding periods and a long-term orientation unusual for traditional venture capital.

Monmouth Ventures invests exclusively in direct equity deals. It does not commit to external venture capital funds, hedge funds, or any pooled vehicles. This structure keeps control in the family office and avoids fund life constraints.

The firm targets growth-stage companies, writing checks of $2M to $10M. It typically leads or co-leads rounds and often takes board seats. It does not focus on seed or late-stage buyouts.

Monmouth Ventures does not invest in public equities, fixed income, precious metals, or cryptocurrencies. It also avoids early-stage technology startups and real estate — the latter being the family's original source of wealth. Its focus remains growth-equity in software and healthcare.

The wealth originates from the Chadha family's real estate development and investment firm Pacific Gulf Properties, publicly recorded as active in the 2000s. Monmouth Ventures invests income from that real estate platform into growth-technology companies.
