Anchor Compass Ventures LLC
Building real businesses. Teaching real life.
We are a family-owned business focused on creating simple, dependable income streams through vending machines and e-commerce. More importantly, we use our business as a way to teach our children responsibility, work ethic, and ownership—one transaction at a time.
About
Anchor Compass Ventures LLC was created with a simple idea:
build something real, and bring our kids along for the journey.
Through our Anchor & Tide Treasures brand, we operate vending machines and online sales businesses that generate recurring income while giving our children hands-on exposure to how businesses actually work.
This isn’t a get-rich-quick project.
It’s a long-term lesson in showing up, doing the work, and earning results.
What We Do
Vending Machines
We place and operate clean, reliable vending machines in local businesses and community spaces.
These machines provide convenient snacks and drinks while creating steady, predictable revenue.
For our family, vending is more than income—it’s a way to teach consistency, accountability, and the value of service.
Anchor & Tide Treasures
Anchor & Tide Treasures is our e-commerce brand focused on practical, everyday products offered at fair prices.
From sourcing and pricing to packing and shipping, our online business helps teach digital skills, customer service, and financial literacy in a real-world setting.
Why We Exist
Our goal isn’t just profit—it’s preparation.
We believe kids learn best by doing.
By involving our children in real business operations, we teach lessons that can’t be found in textbooks:
- How Money is Earned
- Why Effort Matters
- What Responsibility Looks Like
- How to Build Something that Lasts
