Patrick Earles

Patrick was born into a large Catholic family with New Orleans, LA roots and a proud English & Italian heritage. He grew up as a competitive athlete in Montana where life in Big Sky Country was an adventure with its’ wide open spaces.

Patrick is relentless competitor, entrepreneur, coach, mentor and servant leader who wears many hats. Yet, his favorite two hats are husband and dad as he is the grateful father of nine adult kids and two grandkids. He is a contrarian with a DNA wired for disruption, starting The Venture Foundry as a business incubation firm in November 2012 with the ambition to develop a portfolio of ventures. Most daring souls would have raised outside money from partners, but he chose to bootstrap The Venture Foundry. He has built a portfolio of companies having incubated 22 startups which included the world’s first smartphone defense case in the launch of Yellow Jacket, LLC, maker of a smartphone defense case with a 7 million volt stun gun and battery pack in the product design.

He launched Unrivaled Advisors in April 1991 which is a creative impact agency that operates in Dallas today having served well managed companies from California to Florida. Unrivaled Advisors the balance sheet, business performance and brands of clients. The portfolio of work and millions of dollars of economic impact delivered since 1994 speaks to his skill and will as a negotiator, creative thinker, financial analyst and steward.

He is the founder of Unrivaled Development Group, a Dallas limited partnership with four limited partners. Unrivaled Development Group is introducing a new economic model of sustainable commercial real estate development. The model changes the economic viability of every new commercial development where it is applied. Dallas, Texas and New York, NY capital underwriters have been in planning meetings to learn about the model, have all reached the same conclusion once their review is complete. The model is valuable due to the fact that it delivers three benefits to each stakeholder in a development - Underwriters, Sponsors and Developers.

The specific value of the proprietary model is defined below:
(1) it lowers the financial risk for capital Underwriters who have stated they plan to employ the model for every project they are underwriting and require the Developer to implement the model as a condition of project financing,
(2) it rewards capital Sponsors who participate in a development with a significant lump sum depreciation benefit that is often equal to the Sponsor’s capital contribution; the benefit occurs once the certificate of occupancy is achieved, and
(3) it delivers for the Developer improved attraction while financing is being sought, a level of improved performance (IRR) and sustainability once the project is completed.
