Today we visited Harty Mechanical who is one of our newest investors! It was a great morning with a special introduction from one of our students who just happens to be the daughter of the owners, Patrick and Angie Harty.

Harty Mechanical was started in Austin in 1979 by Patrick's parents and was purchased by Patrick and Angie in 2013. At that time they had 35 employees. They have since moved to a brand new location as of 2024 and have grown to 107 employees.

Quick facts from the visit:
⚙️Mechanical contractors cover: heating and cooling, piping, plumbing, controls and equipment
⚙️Their main areas of service focus on k-12 schools, apartments and hotels/hospitality
⚙️Their main service areas focus on the triangle of Minneapolis/St.Paul to Mankato to Rochester
⚙️College is one path, but not the only path
⚙️Communication is key with their customers and internally as a staff

It was a fantastic morning of learning and insights, saw three CEO parents, enjoyed delicious donuts, and new shirts!
