Morefield Partners develops relationships with the select few innovators who challenge the status quo and try to change the world. Our incubation platform- "The Field"- is where ideas that start on a piece of paper are turned into innovative solutions to everyday problems. We are industry agnostic and love working with entrepreneurs from all backgrounds. Learn about our services below.
Our specialty is working with entrepreneurs at the earliest stages to take back of napkin ideas (or more simply starting with a problem we want to solve) and quickly turn them into fully operational Minimum Viable Products that have a large potential for disruption. Nothing is too early for us or too far out of the box.
Morefield Partners incubates, mentors, and consults for promising entrepreneurial ventures. For most projects, this means we act as Co-Founder and leverage our skills/network to get a product to the point where it can receive an outside investment. Not only do we love exciting new tech ventures but also physical products or creative fields, such as restaurant concepts, food/beverage lines, movies, books, or television shows. We are proudly based in New York City. You may view an example of services offered here.
Morefield Partners was started by twin brothers Matthew and Michael Kane, serial entrepreneurs and investors, who found their years of hands on product development, networking, and investing across many fields made them uniquely suited to make a difference in American entrepreneurship. After meeting many green entrepreneurs- those with great ideas and corporate experience but no technical or entrepreneurial background- the brothers felt that there was a huge need for a pre-seed incubation platform to get these great ideas out in the market solving our everyday problems. This is where "The Field" originated. In The Field, entrepreneurship has no fences.
"Morefield" is the name of the street that the partners grew up on in the middle class Northeast section of Philadelphia. This street and neighborhood symbolize everything that is great about America. We don't believe you need fancy titles, Harvard degrees, or rich family lineage to be successful. If you are smart, resourceful, hardworking, and tough, anything is possible, as long as you are willing to dream.
We are "problem solver" entrepreneurs. What this means is simple. We start or advise companies that solve problems, and that's it. We do not get involved in businesses to make money. You can find any hustler on the street that can do that. If you are solving a big enough problem, the money will come. To us, being an entrepreneur is about solving the everyday problems that face us. This is the perspective that we bring to every project we consider.
Morefield Partners is made up of twin brother serial entrepreneurs Matthew and Michael Kane. They have dedicated their lives to solving problems and innovating. If you view yourself the same way, then there will definitely be an opportunity to work together.
