About Us
Luana Investments is a single-family office that backs passionate, successful entrepreneurs and fund managers who have differentiated business and investment strategies.
Based in the Seattle area, we partner with compelling domain leaders with a proclivity for innovation, helping them grow their business or investment fund with intentional patience…always taking the long view.
Luana Investments provides capital, insight and access to a network of like-minded subject matter experts through a style of servant leadership. We participate only when invited and where we can bring unique value.
Our firm is managed by David C. Linton and invests the Linton family capital exclusively. David spent a 35 year career at Bigelow LLC (www.bigelowllc.com) as Managing Director and Senior Partner. He helped build the Firm to its prominence while advising entrepreneurs with growing and ultimately capturing the hard-earned enterprise value of their niche-leading companies. In this, David’s “next chapter”, he continues to help entrepreneurs “grow and harvest”, but this time in the role of supportive investor. David also directs the Linton family’s philanthropic “3 T’s”—Time/Talent/Treasure—towards compelling social sector solutions. The family is particularly drawn to support employment social enterprise models that deliver a “double bottom-line” of mission-driven outcomes fueled by profit-generating business activities.
