Portfolio
Where we entered,
and when.
Direct investments and the funds we back, with the stage at which we came in and what followed.
Direct Investments
Companies we hold directly
Defense
Seed investor, 2025
Low-cost, long-range modular guidance kits that turn unguided munitions into precision weapons, built for scalable, adaptable deep-strike capability and global deployment. Beachwood invested in the 2025 seed round beside the lead investor who priced it. The company raised its Series A in 2026.
Defense
Cathedral Systems
Seed co-investor, 2026
Defense AI infrastructure: the software layer the Department of War needs to field artificial intelligence at scale across its systems. Beachwood co-invested in the 2026 seed round led by Andreessen Horowitz and Sequoia Capital, reached through an introduction before the round was widely shopped.
Energy
Investor since 2020 · President & Board Director
Integrated microgrid systems that make buildings, campuses and communities resilient: on-site generation, storage and the management software that runs them, based in Dallas, Texas. Beachwood has invested in five financings since 2020, from the company's first convertible notes onward. Patrick George serves as President and a board director. During his tenure the company moved from research and development to commercial operations, expanded across North America and the United Kingdom, and formed a joint venture with a European public company.
Applied Technology
Investor since 2021 · Seed, Series A and Series B
Affordable, transparent auto repair with upfront pricing, online booking and a nationwide warranty, at more than 30 locations across California and Texas. Beachwood invested in the 2021 seed financing and followed on in the Series A in 2023 and the Series B in 2026, each priced by an outside lead.
Applied Technology
Investor since 2024 · Three financings
Plant-level crop measurement from field photographs, AI harvest planning, crew time records and audit-ready compliance for agave and grape growers, proven at industrial scale in agave. Beachwood has invested in three financings since 2024.
Applied Technology
Early investor · Converted in the 2025 seed round
A vehicle security platform protecting data, privacy and safety across connected vehicles: forensic-grade deletion of personal data from vehicle systems for fleets, rentals and resale, and tools that show what a vehicle still retains. Beachwood invested early through a convertible instrument that became preferred stock in the company's 2025 seed round.
Fund Partnerships
Funds we back
Beachwood invests as a limited partner in specialist early-stage funds and co-invests directly beside their portfolio companies.
Early-Stage Venture · Santa Barbara / San Francisco
Limited partner, Funds I, II and III
An early-stage venture firm investing across four verticals: consumer products, commerce infrastructure software, industrial modernization technology and tech-enabled services. Beachwood is a limited partner in Watchfire Ventures Funds I, II and III.
Venture · Los Angeles
Limited partner, two funds · LP Advisory Committee
A venture firm whose investments are mostly first checks at the early to mid stage, across frontier technology, healthcare, consumer wellness, media, sports and AI, with vehicles that also structure access to limited, sought-after rounds. Beachwood is a limited partner in two Arcadian funds, and Patrick George sits on the committee of limited partners that advises the firm.
How We Hold
In early.
Through the rounds that follow.
We enter at the seed or in the convertible rounds before it, follow on in the priced rounds that outside leads set, and hold through them. We have followed StressFree Auto Care from a 2021 convertible through its Series B, and Hover Energy from its first notes in 2020 through five financings.
The portfolio is concentrated in three areas: defense and the industrial base, energy, and technology applied to physical industries. Each company stands on customers of its own. None depends on another company we hold.
