The Story Behind Our Name

The discovery of gold at Coloma in 1848 precipitated the California Gold Rush. The entrepreneurial spirit, resourcefulness, hard work, and fortitude of the optimists who ventured there created success and wealth on a broad scale. Miners made fortunes. So did others. Frank Bekeart, who opened a gunshop in Coloma, and his family went on to build the premier firearms and sporting goods business in the West. Sam Brannon sold supplies to the miners who flocked to Coloma and quickly became California’s first millionaire. The spirit of the Gold Rush pioneers lives on today at Coloma Capital Partners.
