S&S Global Family Office
Sterling Snead and Summer Stoffel founded Snead & Stoffel Global Family Office in 2012 in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, to manage their family's wealth across a deliberately wide aperture. While the firm has not publicly disclosed its wealth origin, it operates as an independent private investment and advisory entity rather than a traditional passive allocator. From its Oklahoma base, the office has built a portfolio structure that braids together venture-capital exposure, financial-asset management, and direct operating business interests, including mineral-rights positions associated with its oil-and-gas focus. The firm's deployment model runs across four core industry pillars: energy, agriculture, technology, and finance. Within energy, the office focuses on mineral-rights investments and working interests in oil and gas alongside alternative-energy technology. Its technology book spans virtual and augmented reality, IoT, cloud infrastructure, SaaS, blockchain, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. On the agriculture side, S&S Global targets livestock identification and tracking technologies, backed in part by Summer Stoffel's operating experience as CEO of Equicore, an international AgTech and data-science company. The firm's public-facing portfolio includes Trakal, a spirits brand that made Bloomberg's list of best spirits of 2020 — demonstrating a willingness to back consumer-goods companies when they align with founder vision. S&S Global participates in angel, seed, Series A, and growth-stage rounds, and also allocates across hedge-fund strategies including trend following, volatility, and market-neutral multi-manager portfolios. Team size and total deployment are not publicly disclosed, and the office does not operate additional outposts beyond its Oklahoma headquarters. S&S Global's principals maintain advisory ties to external investment firms: Sterling Snead serves on the Advisory Board of Windham Capital Partners, a healthcare-focused venture capital firm. The office's recent public activity is thin, with the last portfolio-related update — Trakal's spirits recognition — dating to December 2020. Beyond its direct-investment mandate, S&S Global runs a family foundation called the Self Research Institute and offers consulting, interim C-suite, and strategic advisory services to portfolio companies as a value-creation lever. The structural differentiator is the firm's unusual blend of an actively deploying single-family office with a fee-for-service operating consultancy. Where most family offices either manage passive allocations or run pure direct-investment programs, S&S Global generates revenue and influence by embedding its managing partners into companies as fractional executives, offering diversification strategy design, organizational change management, and board-level presentations. This dual-income model — investment returns plus advisory fees — creates a cash-flow stream that can support a wider risk appetite across its early-stage venture and volatile-asset-class commitments.

Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at S&S Global Family Office?
Investment decisions are led by managing partners Sterling Snead, the firm's Chief Planning Specialist, and Summer Stoffel, its Chief Strategy Officer. Snead's background encompasses data science and machine learning, while Stoffel brings deep operating experience from AgTech as the founder and CEO of Equicore. Neither the firm nor public reporting indicates a separate investment committee beyond the two named principals.
How does S&S Global Family Office source its deal flow?
S&S Global leverages its managing partners' industry networks and operating-company relationships to source transactions. Summer Stoffel's consulting and public-speaking roles with international organizations such as the American Horse Council, the National Institute of Animal Agriculture, and the United States Equestrian Federation provide a proprietary window into the livestock and agriculture-technology sectors. The office's advisory-fee business further embeds its principals directly into the management teams of portfolio companies, generating organic pipeline visibility.
Is S&S Global Family Office structured as a single-family office or does it operate more like a venture firm?
It is legally a single-family office headquartered in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, but its investment posture — direct angel, seed, Series A, and growth-stage venture alongside hedge-fund and mineral-rights allocations — resembles a hybrid investment firm. The office augments its capital deployment with a distinct consulting arm that offers fractional C-suite services, strategic advisory, and board-level presentations to portfolio companies, making it operationally heavier than a pure venture or family-office vehicle.
Does S&S Global Family Office participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?
Both. The firm explicitly invests in startups, Series A rounds, and established entities, while also placing capital across multi-manager hedge-fund portfolios that include trend following, volatility, and market-neutral strategies. It has not disclosed a fund-of-funds allocation program, but its hedge-fund exposure indicates a commitment-based model for liquid-alternatives strategies.
Which sectors does S&S Global Family Office explicitly avoid?
The firm has published no explicit sector exclusions. Its stated comfort zone spans energy, agriculture, technology, and finance, with specific tracked interests in FinTech, AgriTech, enterprise software, AI/ML, AR/VR, digital health, and robotics. Absent from its disclosed focus are areas such as biotech therapeutics, traditional large-cap pharma, and deep hardware outside of IoT and industrial-tech applications.
What is S&S Global Family Office's known posture on co-investments alongside external GPs?
The firm has not publicly formalized a co-investment program, but its advisory relationship between principal Sterling Snead and Windham Capital Partners — a healthcare-focused venture capital firm — suggests a willingness to co-invest or collaborate alongside external managers where thesis alignment exists. S&S Global's direct-venture model and fractional-consulting service also make it capable of inserting operating expertise, not just capital, into syndicated deals.
Does S&S Global Family Office maintain philanthropic structures, and how are they separated?
Yes. The family office operates the Self Research Institute as its affiliated philanthropic vehicle. The exact legal separation between the family office's for-profit investment activities and the foundation is not publicly detailed, but the institute exists as a distinct entity channeling the family's commitment to impact investing and grant-making alongside its market-rate capital deployment.
