Lanham is a Co-Founder at BuildGroup, a company that selectively invests in leadership teams with staying power. BuildGroup backs founders who are ambitious enough to want to make a dent in the universe and humble enough to realize they can’t do it alone. By providing permanent capital from aligned investors and avoiding forced exits, BuildGroup frees entrepreneurs to focus on serving customers instead of raising the next round. The company believes that great businesses are built, not bought, and that’s why the team works side-by-side with founders to create conditions for long-term growth. BuildGroup was founded in Austin, Texas by a team of proven builders who love nothing more than helping build and grow extraordinary companies.
