The word "Trove" originated from the phrase "treasure trove," which itself evolved from the old French phrase "tresor trové" or "treasure found." 
 
True to the etymology of its name, Trove Ventures LLC seeks to find treasures in real estate and in a variety of business ventures, ranging from early-stage to growth stage companies. The company strives to employ a disciplined yet opportunistic approach to deals, taking into account any special circumstances that make a deal particularly attractive.
 
For real estate opportunities, Trove Ventures has access to many different members of the real estate investment community, including high net worth individuals, private equity and other real estate investment funds, real estate developers, and hedge funds that invest in distressed and other real estate deals. Many of these real estate players are all-cash buyers who can move relatively quickly for the right opportunity.
 
For venture deals, Trove Ventures has relationships with the venture investment community, including angel investors, venture capital funds, and private equity funds. The company has and continues to develop deal-flow in a variety of sectors, including primarily cleantech and high-tech (and occasionally Internet/media, medical device, and pharmaceutical ventures).
