ABOUT THE COOPERATIVE
THE HUB OF INNOVATION
From the august minds of its founders, Business Builders Cooperative has emerged as the very fulcrum upon which the future of enterprise pivots. Here, investment is not merely capital deployed, but an exalted act of stewardship shaping the destiny of innovation itself.

OUR STORY
Principled Capital. Enduring Legacy
Business Builders Cooperative was founded by four distinguished gentlemen, P. Scott Richter, K. Douglas Parma, D. Dickerson Jones, and W. Ian Petrie, whose lifelong bond was forged amidst the storied traditions of Texas A&M University.
United not merely by friendship but by an unshakable devotion to the Aggie Honor Code - An Aggie does not lie, cheat, or steal or tolerate those who do” - they resolved to devote their considerable intellect, experience, and position to the noble pursuit of empowering entrepreneurs. With a steadfast commitment to integrity, equity, and progress, the Cooperative stands not as a mere investment entity, but as a beacon of principled ambition and enlightened enterprise.
