Peak to Peak Investing is a diversified holding company and family office. We invest across multiple alternative and traditional asset classes. Our direct investments of time and capital are focused on education, healthy eating, medical device innovation and other breakthrough technologies. We take minority interest in revenue and cash generating businesses and majority ownership in earlier stage companies. We search for leaders, ideas and causes that will improve our world.
Christy Orris founded Peak to Peak Investing after selling ATEK Medical in 2011. Previously, she was CEO of the ATEK Companies from 2001-2011, a privately owned management company that owned and ran various outsource manufacturing, industrial product and service companies.
INVESTING IN IDEAS AND BUSINESSES
We look for sustainable growth businesses that solve unmet needs and help make our world a better place. We care about investing in the global community and in leaders who share our values to make positive change. We believe that conscious entrepreneurs have the ability to make the most significant economic and social impact on the underserved populations.
We are inspired by organizations around the world, such as Room to Read and GodFred’s Foundation, who are investing in children as a way to transform local communities and encourage gender equality.
We are also passionate about Semester at Sea’s around the world educational voyage and its ability to expose young adults to the diverse cultures while in college. Our family has traveled on the ship for 3 semesters as a way to learn more about the people, cultures and history of the world.
INVESTING IN EDUCATION
We agree with Nelson Mandela that “education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”
We have launched programs for middle school, high school and college students in Colorado. Our seminars provide tools and a safe environment for students to explore what is most meaningful to them and their society. They hone their moral compass and begin to internalize and articulate the type of leader they aspire to be.
INVESTING IN OUR NEXT LEADERS
The Aspen Institute’s Henry Crown Fellowship Program continues to inspire us to develop the next generation of ethical leaders.
