17.1 Ventures, Inc. is a founder-led venture studio and holding company based in Bentonville, Arkansas, built to launch, grow, and steward a portfolio of transformative companies across physical, digital, and experiential industries.

Founded by product strategist Daniel LeSieur and healthcare executive Amy LeSieur, 17.1 Ventures merges enterprise discipline with startup agility. Together, the duo brings decades of leadership experience in operations, product strategy, and systems design.
