Overview
Capital Eleven was founded in 2009 by Travis Hawkes and David K. Gardner, who met while studying at Boise State University. The organization began by starting and building their own businesses, which they continue to operate. Capital Eleven started seed stage venture investing in January 2019, driven by a commitment to the Boise tech ecosystem and a desire to support founders. Over the years, they expanded to include a real estate investment and development team, as well as a private equity team for business acquisitions. In early 2025, they launched Capital Eleven Advisors to provide M&A advisory, strategic advisory, and corporate finance services. The organization is headquartered in Meridian, Idaho.
