Based in Charlotte, North Carolina, Archimedes Group’s founders started with nothing: no money, no network, and no experience. This “no excuse” mentality pushed two young entrepreneurs to find ways to grow to over 20 Mobile Home Parks spanning ~1,795 pads in a short 6 years, despite seemingly insurmountable obstacles to hurdle. In the spirit of lifting themselves up, Archimedes Group looks to help others lift themselves up too. Through our Mentorship Program (see Mentorship Program), we help would be entrepreneurs, stuck on the sidelines and frustrated at the lack of deals, find their way into the space. We also define our “why” by finding meaning and purpose in giving back to our residents within our communities (see Charity).
