Our Ecosystem
The Red Caboose ecosystem has achieved an actionable level of relationships, in business, government and cultural institutions bringing strategic global players to kick start, expand, reinvigorate or exit any project.
We are nurturers of interconnectedness, from the tiniest, to the largest; and absolutely between symbiotic persons, capital and ideas. That's the strategic role of Red Caboose on your business map. Red Caboose is not located out in the far frontiers, or in an inaccessible castle tower stronghold, we are readily available and firmly attached to your train. Red Caboose is humbly positioned in the quiet tiny rear corner cut out of your strategic map, a 'legend' to help you orientate and read the landscape that you face ahead … designing and building supply lines, digging trenches, garnering reinforcements and certifying advanced tools that you need to execute.
Remember Red Caboose is behind you all the way!
History
Red Caboose
Do you know… There is a special and hidden place... The kind of place that some people are only fortunate enough to read about in fairy tales…Located in the 'Beach of the King' (Playa del Rey)… On the 'View of the Beach Lane' (Vista del Mar Lane)… At the singular viewpoint in all of Los Angeles where you can view Malibu, Palos Verdes and the Hollywood Sign from the same footprint... Where a young 'Smart' boy was raised... and nurtured… and grew to be a man… And there, our dearest trusted friend, stands the original Red Caboose- Be still…
