Homefield Capital Partners is a GP-as-a-Service platform that provides the infrastructure accelerators, universities, economic development organizations, and angel groups need to launch and manage investment funds. Most fund administration services are built for traditional venture capital firms. They assume dedicated staff, institutional knowledge, and seven-figure budgets. Organizations with strong deal flow and community ties but limited back-office capacity have been left to figure it out themselves. We change that. Homefield provides fund formation support, compliance, reporting, and administration so our partners can focus on what they do best: finding and backing great founders. Our clients are not trying to become fund managers. They are economic development professionals, accelerator operators, and university leaders who see an investment fund as a tool for deepening impact in their communities. We give them the infrastructure to do it right.

Why? It may be the greatest question of all. Why? It’s born of wonder and curiosity. Why? It makes us think and makes us better. Why? It moves us forward. For nearly a century, the Buffalo Museum of Science has been a resource for why. Answering many times over. And then asking it again. From exhibits that captivate, to a staff that guides, to a collection that inspires, we are about perpetuating the amazing question of why in all who walk our halls. This is what science is about. And everything is about science. So come explore, discover, wonder, reason, reflect, observe, absorb, realize, dream, and – most important – question. Find why at the Buffalo Museum of Science.
