Pacesetter Ventures is one of the most successful business incubators in the United States. We are headquartered on a historic and beautiful horse farm in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, and have regional offices in Madison, Wisconsin and New London, New Hampshire.
Since the Company was founded, businesses launched by Pacesetter have generated more than $100 million in sales, with pre-tax profit margins consistently exceeding 35%. We have been successful developing and growing a wide variety of both product and service-based business models, and have deep experience in quickly and cost-effectively generating new revenue streams in regional, national and global markets.
Given the current economy, Pacesetter has completely divested our previous portfolio of successful businesses over the last eighteen months in order to incubate and grow three new high growth companies that were specifically designed to succeed in today's increasingly competitive environment. The key thread across these businesses is an innovative and proprietary set of game & entertainment technologies that provide our customers with an "unfair competitive advantage" – the ability to immediately increase their profitability by driving significant new customer traffic and retaining existing customers far longer than industry benchmarks suggest would ever be possible.

Pacesetter Investments: is a private venture capital fund which exclusively supports the scale-up of our new businesses, as well as those of our customers (for example, we offer joint venture opportunities to selected customers with great concepts/locations in return for an attractive revenue sharing arrangement). Later this year we anticipate offering (exclusively to "IRS qualified" investors) limited partnership opportunities to invest in high growth, but asset-backed business ventures we manage. Unless you are already working with us however, we are not actively soliciting funds now.
