The Gideon Hixon Fund utilizes and expands on the experience of six generations of family business. Since 1850, the Hixon Family has been building businesses and providing capital to exceptional entrepreneurs. The Hixon family via the Gideon Hixon Fund, its predecessors Midland Investment Company, HixVen and its partnership with Southwest Venture Partners, have had the opportunity to be part of success stories such as AMP, Apple Computer, Dell Computer, Xiotech, and CorSolutions. The firm's partners are generalists and will invest across most stages and across industries. The fund will invest $100K or less and usually invest anywhere from $500K to $1.5M over the life of an investment. Gideon Hixon prefers to invest in the United States and does not invest in 'sin' industries or products/services that it feels have negative social ramifications. The firm also engages in Fund of Funds investing, having made investments in Affinity Capital Management, Draper Fisher Jurvetson, and Velocity Equity Partners. The firm invests in fund managers with less than $100MM under management with demonstrated competencies in areas that affect the real estate market.
