Welcome to Rogue Foundry, building Southern Oregon’s founder-driven community.
Rogue Foundry is the launchpad for a new model of community-driven, economically sustainable growth in Medford and beyond. We bring together Frontier Capital, Hometown Soccer Holdings, and Futbal Unlimited to deliver regenerative private equity, centered around civic infrastructure that matters—sports, housing, culture, and opportunity.
Core Thesis:
Southern Oregon: The most founder-friendly, high-quality-of-life startup hub between SF and Seattle — built for creatives, builders, and technologists seeking purpose, nature, and community.
Unique Positioning:
Our current initiative:
A transformational MLS Next Pro stadium district, anchored by the Timbers2 relocation and powered by a coalition of local owners, global institutions, and a commitment to Tier 2–4 market revitalization.
This isn’t just a sports deal. It’s a strategy for long-term economic mobility, community resilience, and place-based identity.
We’re not building a stadium. We’re building the future of Medford and the Rogue Valley.
“We’re not just building new buildings—we’re investing in human beings. Visionaries. Creators. Builders. People who will build their companies—and their families—right here, in a place that believes in them.” - Michael Flynn, Frontier Capital Founder and GP

At Frontier Capital, we do not view stadiums, mixed-use districts, or public-private ventures as the end goal. They are the infrastructure of belonging—a platform to magnetize and nurture the people who will shape the next century of American innovation.
This is not about sports. This is not about infrastructure.
This is about deploying capital—intelligently, strategically, and locally—to attract the visionaries, the cultural creatives, and the entrepreneurial class who build lasting civic identity and economic expansion.
This is about converting sports infrastructure into human infrastructure—where every dollar of physical development becomes a foundation for community wealth, cultural relevance, and economic flywheel creation.
We’ve seen it in Boulder, Bozeman, Bentonville, Nashville, Asheville, San Jose. Now, it’s NXNW NxT: the next wave of frontier cities that are rising through intention, design, and capital maturity. Medford is next—if it chooses well.
Our model is designed to:
Attract cultural creatives, entrepreneurs, and founders of high-growth companies who are increasingly seeking to relocate to values-aligned, lifestyle-rich, and identity-driven communities.
Build not just match-day experiences, but match-life ecosystems—where sports are the ignition point for civic pride, community ritual, and human-centered capital allocation.
Enable economic development flywheels that start with a stadium but extend to housing, co-working, incubation, artistic expression, and inclusive ownership.
The Rogue Valley has one of the greatest under-leveraged assets in the American West:
Its quality of life.
We believe in investing in places that founders want to call home—because that is how you build a city that doesn’t just grow, but leads.
Traditional development extracts. Regenerative capital builds ecosystems.
Invest in anchor assets that catalyze long-term value (pro teams, mixed-use districts, entrepreneurship).
Prioritize community equity, public-private alignment, and cultural infrastructure.
Unlock Tier 2–4 market potential through civic-led capital strategy.
