Perk & Chipper is an independent firm in Northwest Arkansas. We advise companies on strategy and business development, and we invest our own capital for the long term.

Perk & Chipper

The firm

We work with a small number of companies at a time and take a long-term view.

Perk & Chipper brings an owner’s perspective to strategy, growth and business development. We are independent, deliberately small and selective about the work we take on.

Where we spend our time

  1. Energy

    Generation, fuels, grid and the long transition in how energy is produced, moved and used.

  2. Industrials

    Manufacturing, materials and the operating businesses that make and move physical goods.

  3. Infrastructure

    Transportation, water, power and digital networks: long-lived assets that communities rely on.

  4. Food & Agriculture

    From farm inputs and protein to ingredients, processing and the supply chains between them.

    Applied technologies, from automation and data to new materials, that change how industries work.
