<h2 style="white-space:pre-line">Our Founders Story</h2>
Joseph Land’s entrepreneurial journey began with a dream of playing professional baseball. Drafted by the Los Angeles Dodgers, that path shifted after a career-ending injury. “I had a dream to play professional baseball but God had a greater plan—and a sense of humor. He put me in the transportation business.”
Joseph went on to build The Joseph Land Group, Inc., a temperature-controlled logistics company he scaled from the ground up into a $179 million in annual sales, with 1,500 trucks, 23 offices, and over 2,000 employees. The company was later ranked by PricewaterhouseCoopers as the 8th largest in its sector in North America and 18th largest company in South Carolina. 
After successfully exiting his company in 1994, Joseph Land founded JL Capital Group. Based in Charleston, South Carolina, JL Capital is now building one of America’s premier small business investment platforms—led by a seasoned team with over $6 billion in collective transaction experience.
We believe business is a powerful vehicle for impact. At JL Capital, we honor God through our actions and serve the people within our companies with integrity and care. Our investment approach is rooted in conviction—grounded in high standards, faithful stewardship, and a belief that principled leadership is our greatest competitive advantage.
