focused on what’s next
Archwell Capital was launched in 2013 by the founders of Freedom Mortgage and has expanded rapidly into an investment vehicle, technology and innovation engine, and philanthropic firm.
“Every person on this team has built, run, or scaled a business before coming to Archwell Capital. That kind of experience is a force multiplier — for how we evaluate a deal, and for the operators we back.”
– Michael Middleman, Chief Executive Officer
Archwell Capital Leadership Team
Archwell Capital's leadership team pairs deep operating experience with institutional-grade financial, legal, and risk discipline. Our executives have built, run, and scaled businesses of their own, including leadership roles at Guggenheim Securities, Freedom Mortgage, Firstsource, and Securitize, before bringing that experience to Archwell Capital.
