About

Where real world experience
meets ownership.

I'm Ashley, founder of 1614 Capital. I spent 15 years in global retail buying and planning before helping build DoorDash's retail vertical to $1B in revenue in less than 4 years. In December 2025, I left salaried employment to pursue what I've always been drawn to: owning and growing something meaningful.

I'm not a private equity firm. I'm not looking to flip. I'm an operator looking for profitable businesses with strong foundations, loyal customers, and an owner ready to hand off to someone who will bring that same level of care to what they've built.

Based in Central Texas. Focused on Retail and eCommerce businesses across Central Texas and beyond.

What I'm
looking for.

$500K to $3M annual revenue
Business Type
Retail and eCommerce
Location
Central Texas based or remotely operated

Retail expertise meets strategic leadership

Let's start a
conversation.

If you're a business owner exploring your options, or a broker with a listing that fits, I'd love to connect. No pressure, no timeline. Just an honest conversation.
