Our story – Southwestern Ventures

Southwestern Ventures was born from the belief that young people must have a place where they can grow.
Not only on the career ladder, but also as a person – by learning, earning, and creating something meaningful. We did not simply create a sales organization. We created an environment where effort = growth, and where every person has the opportunity to leave a mark.

Southwestern Ventures was founded in December 2018 as part of the Southwestern Family of Companies – a group of companies with a history spanning more than 160 years. Our goal was to bring this long-term experience and strong value foundation to Europe, creating practical career opportunities for young people through sales and leadership.

During the first year, Ventures founder Jaak Roosaare and our CFO Madli Suitslepp managed to create more than 80 part-time jobs. We helped several partners successfully collect charitable donations and supported G4S in improving fire safety by installing smart Nublu carbon monoxide detectors.

Today we have grown into a multi-level organization with four main directions:

• Finance – financial consulting and investment solutions,
• Insurance – life and accident insurance,
• Fundraising – cooperation with charitable organizations (incl. SOS Children’s Village, Save the Children, Aitan Eestit),
• Home Services – safety and comfort solutions in cooperation with G4S.

Our mission is simple but powerful

• To give people the opportunity to earn, learn, and contribute through sales and leadership.
• To offer inspiring career opportunities within SWFC, using proven values, principles, and methodologies.
• To help partner companies grow, whose goal is to create a positive impact both locally and globally.

This is not just a workplace. It is a platform that builds confidence, responsibility, and leadership skills. Our people become those who can be relied on – and who create opportunities for themselves.

Our strategy: to grow together with people

Growth does not happen by itself. We have a clear plan and system based on the principles of the Southwestern Family of Companies:

• We constantly recruit new people and offer them a value-based culture and a clear development path.
• We train and coach our team using methodologies that have proven their effectiveness over time and in practice.
• We adapt, learn, and strive for improvement. Every feedback, every experience, every day is part of our development.
  

For us, success means more

We do not measure success only in numbers. We measure it in people who have become more confident. In young people who have found direction. In teams that work together, not against each other. In partners who see that our work creates value.

If you are looking for an environment where effort leads to growth, and where work means not only doing the job but also developing yourself, then you are on the right track.
