OUR STORY

Founded in 2015, Twelve21 is a limited liability company based in St. Charles, Illinois. Our mission is to develop a strong portfolio of businesses, brands, and investments across a diverse spectrum of industries. We value creativity and are committed to the continuous support of our team members, brands, and partners.

Twelve21 specializes in new business ventures, capital investment, and existing business acquisitions. We operate in a variety of industry segments including strategic consulting, people strategy, retail support, data analytics, and curriculum development.

Twelve21 Core Values: Creative = Innovative / Variety = Diverse

CREATIVE

Our projects, partnerships and investments are designed to serve a wide array of businesses and industries. The uniqueness of each project allows for collaboration, and creativity to bring together great people, services and outcomes to all involved.

INNOVATIVE

Business ideas, proposals and ventures fail to succeed because they lack the support necessary to succeed. Twelve21 reduces risk and provides new ventures the infrastructure needed to focus on operations, client and customer satisfaction, and profitability.

DIVERSE

Serving a number of different business ventures allows the Twelve21 portfolio to be diverse, insulated from market changes and capable to enter new industries because of our rich portfolio of existing projects, industry expertise, and personnel.
