Join us in Raleigh for an event with Greg Bohlen.
Please join us as Greg shares his remarkable journey — from his beginnings as a family farmer to transforming a small Illinois bank into a highly profitable venture, then leaping to Wall Street as co-founder of the #1 Venture Capital Fund of Funds, Union Grove Venture Partners. His firm brought companies like Just Meat, Poshmark, and Progeny to market and invested privately in more than 24 IPOs. Guided by an entrepreneurial spirit and a deep sense of purpose, Greg has now returned to his roots, operating a regenerative farm in Hillsborough, NC, where he cultivates thin-skinned, seedless Muscadine grapes.
This event furthers AIER’s mission by highlighting the power of entrepreneurship, innovation, and free enterprise to improve lives and strengthen communities. Through Greg’s story, attendees will see how personal initiative and market-driven solutions can foster prosperity and human flourishing.
