Supporting companies and ideas for 22+ years
The first Ascendiant entity, Ascendiant Capital Group, was launched in 2001.
Prior to forming Ascendiant, the founding partners were involved with starting, investing in, and operating other businesses. One of the companies was Odyssey Sports which was successfully sold to Callaway Golf. Another company they started together was taken public, which provided direct experience raising capital, pursuing growth through acquisitions, and managing all aspects of a publicly-traded entity.
