SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Oct. 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kj-venture LLC, the Scottsdale-based business capital and growth firm owned by entrepreneur and business executive Brent Felix, today announced the expansion of its alternative business funding, digital growth, and real estate development initiatives, including the rollout of the Digital Authority & Capital Growth Program connected to multifamily development in the San Diego market. The expansion is designed to help business owners access capital and build stronger long-term platforms for growth.
Through Kj-venture LLC, Brent Felix has spent the past six years building experience across the finance and fintech industries, working with entrepreneurs and business owners seeking alternatives to traditional lending. According to the company, Felix has helped facilitate and secure more than $30 million in funding for clients across a wide range of financial and credit profiles.
Kj-venture LLC is issuing today’s announcement as it broadens its services to address what Felix describes as a continuing problem facing many entrepreneurs: viable companies and promising ideas can still struggle to obtain the financing required to expand.
Traditional banks frequently operate within established underwriting requirements, which can leave certain business owners with limited options even when they have functioning companies, revenue opportunities, or plans for growth. Felix has built Kj-venture LLC’s approach around helping entrepreneurs evaluate additional funding strategies based on their individual circumstances rather than relying exclusively on conventional bank financing.
“Entrepreneurs can have the right business, the right opportunity, and the willingness to execute, but capital is often the piece that determines how quickly they can move,” said Brent Felix, owner of Kj-venture LLC. “With this expansion, our goal is to understand what options are actually available and then build a strategy around the business.”
An Alternative Approach to Business Funding
Under the expanded offering, Kj-venture LLC’s work is positioned around matching businesses with financing strategies suited to their objectives, whether those objectives include launching a new venture, expanding an existing company, purchasing equipment, improving business credit, or obtaining working capital.
Felix’s philosophy for the company emphasizes more than simply completing a financing transaction. The objective is to help business owners better understand available funding structures and pursue capital that supports sustainable operations.
Felix has also placed particular emphasis on helping business owners evaluate alternatives to expensive short-term financing structures such as merchant cash advances, which can place significant pressure on operating cash flow.
For Felix, access to capital should function as a growth tool rather than becoming an additional obstacle for the company receiving it.
That outlook has shaped a broader operating philosophy centered on relationships, communication, and practical execution.
“The best advice I can give any entrepreneur is to stop making excuses and do the work. Learn how to communicate, build real relationships, and surround yourself with people who find solutions instead of problems,” Felix said. “That mindset has been fundamental to every business I’ve built.”
Expanding Into Real Estate Development and Digital Growth
As part of today’s announcement, Kj-venture LLC is also extending Felix’s initiatives into real estate through KJ Development Group, which is focused on multifamily development opportunities in the San Diego market.
According to company materials, KJ Development Group concentrates on multifamily communities ranging from approximately 46 to 90 units, combining marketing, investment strategy, and ground-up development. The company materials describe a track record consisting of 10 case studies with no reported losses.
The expansion reflects a broader strategy in which capital formation, development, marketing, and digital infrastructure are increasingly treated as interconnected parts of the same growth model.
Central to the expansion is KJ Development Group’s Digital Authority & Capital Growth Program, designed to combine digital market positioning with participation in the company’s San Diego real estate initiatives.
The platform includes customized real estate web infrastructure, search optimization, regional San Diego targeting, Google profile configuration, automated lead-management systems, MLS integration, and recurring capital allocations tied to active development projects.
The company also describes a profit-sharing component connected to its multifamily portfolio, giving qualified participants exposure to returns associated with certain development activity.
Connecting Capital, Visibility, and Execution
Rather than treating funding, marketing, and development as completely separate functions, Felix is increasingly building around the idea that growing companies need all three working together.
A business may secure financing but lack the infrastructure required to generate new opportunities. Another may have strong marketing but insufficient capital to expand. A real estate project may have attractive fundamentals but still require effective positioning, investor communication, and operational systems.
Felix’s strategy is to bring those areas closer together.
The result is a business model focused on identifying opportunities, assembling the appropriate relationships and resources, and moving projects from concept toward execution.
That mindset is particularly relevant as entrepreneurs continue searching for alternatives to traditional financing and developers compete for capital, attention, and market positioning.
For Felix, however, the underlying principle remains straightforward.
Business owners need options.
And in many cases, he believes those options extend further than entrepreneurs initially realize.
“Sometimes the biggest problem isn’t that capital doesn’t exist,” Felix said. “It’s that the business owner doesn’t know where to look, who to speak with, or how to position the opportunity correctly. Once you solve those pieces, completely different possibilities can open up.”
With more than $30 million in client funding facilitated to date and today’s expansion across capital solutions, digital infrastructure, and San Diego multifamily development, Kj-venture LLC and Brent Felix are positioning the company’s next phase around helping entrepreneurs move from opportunity to execution.
