Background

About Tim Hebel

Managing Partner at Inland Tide | Founder & Exited Owner | 40 Under 40 Honoree I am an operator and investor dedicated to acquiring and scaling businesses that form the backbone of the economy. After a 14-year tenure as the founder and owner of Beanstalk Web Solutions, which I led to a successful exit in 2026, I have transitioned into a new chapter. I built my previous agency as a sole owner, but I have now teamed up with a business partner to launch Inland Tide. We are a holding company focused on long-term acquisitions and strategic growth.Our Core Focus - Acquisitions: We are actively seeking majority stakes in Manufacturing, Industrial, and Distribution companies. We look for stable, profitable businesses where we can step in as dedicated operators to ensure long-term continuity and expansion- Advisory: We partner with select organizations to provide executive-level advisory services. We specialize in scaling operations and optimizing business models in exchange for equity, ensuring a "skin-in-the-game" partnership- Venture: We provide seed and growth-stage capital to founders building the next generation of industry-defining companies, particularly where our background in technology can provide a competitive edge.Perspective and Experience My career has been defined by early adoption and technical depth. From studying Computer Science with an emphasis on AI to investing in Bitcoin in 2011, I have a lifelong passion for identifying value where others see complexity. At Inland Tide, we apply this forward-thinking lens and modern, AI-driven efficiencies to traditional, owner-operated businesses.Personal Mission Based in the St. Louis area, I am a husband and a father to three daughters. I am a firm believer in the "buy and hold" philosophy. My goal is building a portfolio of businesses that create a lasting impact for their employees, customers, and communities.Let’s Talk: If you are a business owner exploring a succession plan or a founder looking for a strategic partner with skin in the game, we would love to hear your story.
