811ventures is a partnership between Price Eberts and Jason Sullivan. We’ve been building brands and businesses of all shapes and sizes for a combined 40+ years and have been business partners for the better part of a decade.
OUR TARGET
We are actively looking to acquire a business with SDE $500K - $1M in the Seattle area.
We’re laser-focused on established Washington companies whose owners are ready for a change, eyeing retirement, looking for a new challenge, or simply wanting to step back.
We respect the effort, passion, and personal investment owners have poured into their businesses, and we’re committed to carrying that legacy forward.
We’re all in.
OUR MISSION
We’re visionaries, operators, and marketers who are as creative as we are strategic. We believe in the power of small business because we’ve started and operated several of our own. Now we’re looking for what's next, only this time trading the startup for the established. A great business we can focus on strategically growing for years to come.

Price is a problem solver. Full stop. No matter the industry or role, he has made a career out of accelerating organizations large and small through creativity, trust, and broad business expertise. He’s a quick study and thrives in leading teams, projects, and initiatives from strategy and design through to execution. He loves to get his hands dirty and dig into every detail to understand the ‘why’ behind the ‘what’. Whether it’s one of his businesses or a multi-billion-dollar client, he’s a fervent believer in the power of a culture and treating people like the often invaluable assets they are.
Price has spent the better part of two decades successfully leading and stewarding companies to be more creative, strategic, and successful. As he looks forward to the next decade, he’s all in on finding the right business to thoughtfully grow through this practiced approach.
Aside from being born in Vancouver BC and a brief stint in Washington DC, Price is a Seattle native with the Pacific Northwest running through his veins. He lives in Seattle with his wife, two young kids, and old black lab.

Jason is a born leader and big thinker with a unique ability to understand people and what motivates them. He spent 15+ years in the world’s best creative and strategy agencies, helping invent, reinvent, and grow brands and businesses of all shapes and sizes— ESPN, Nike, Miller Brewing, T-Mobile, Citi, HP, Aflac, MoPop, Seattle Tourism, and KEXP, to name a few.
He moved on from the traditional agency world in 2016, starting Certain Standard, a fashion accessories brand, and If So, How, a business and consultancy focused on accelerating early-to-mid-stage businesses. He’s an advisor to multiple small businesses and always looking for that next great opportunity to take to the next level.
He’s a native New Englander who spent the early years of his career in New York City. He came out to Seattle intending to stay for a year or two, but 18 years and 3,241 cups of coffee later, it’s the only place he can imagine calling home. He lives in Queen Anne with his wife, Amy, and their Spinone, Nutella.
