A private holding company investing patient capital and hands-on attention into ventures built to last for generations.
Building for what lasts
LNM Legacy Ventures is a family-held venture company that takes a patient, hands-on approach to the businesses we build. Rather than chase short-term returns, we invest our own capital and time directly into ventures we can stand behind for decades.
We don’t build for exits — we build to keep. Every venture we take on gets our own capital, our own time, and our own name on the line, with the discipline to grow deliberately and only as far as each venture earns the right. Every decision is underwritten the way a family, not a fund, underwrites: for the long run.
Behind LNM Legacy Ventures is a family — and a name that means something to the people building it.
Vince built his career turning data into decisions, with experience at organizations including Fox Interactive and the Los Angeles Times. His analytical approach now helps shape how LNM evaluates opportunities and develops its ventures.
His wife and co-founder, Nakia, brings more than 20 years of banking experience, adding the financial knowledge and discipline behind the company’s growth.
But the story behind LNM began long before the company.
Los Angeles natives, Vince and Nakia have been together since the early ’90s. Today, they’re raising six children in Snellville, Georgia, and creating something they hope will extend well beyond themselves.
That’s why Legacy is in the name.
Every LNM venture carries the Mayhorn family name — and the responsibility that comes with it.
Six children. One family name. Generations ahead.
What guides every venture
We back ideas with a clear line of sight to lasting value, not fads with a short shelf life.
Every venture is underwritten with the same rigor, whether the decision is five figures or seven.
We look for places where patient capital and hands-on attention can unlock value others pass by.
We build ventures meant to be handed down, not flipped — with the next generation in the room.
What we're building

What we look for
We take on a small number of ventures, and only ones that fit. If you’re building something and this sounds like you, get in touch.
Businesses meant to operate for decades, not flip in five years. We invest for generations, not exits.
Real products, real customers, and real revenue — or a clear path to it. No hype, no fads.
We invest our own time alongside our capital, so we take on ventures where our operating experience actually helps.
We start in Georgia and the Southeast, where we can be present and hands-on — not absentee owners.
