Sunbear | noun /
ˈsʌn bɛrˈ

Clear in words, stronger in actions—Sun Bear embodies business done differently: purpose-led and people-focused.

What's in a name?

The Sun Bear Group takes its name directly from the sun bear itself, chosen to represent the core values and mission of the company in three important ways.

First, the sun bear is the smallest species of bear, symbolizing how The Sun Bear Group began from humble beginnings, with the founder starting small in Stockton, CA, yet committed to making a big impact.

Second, unlike other bears, the sun bear doesn’t hibernate. This reflects our commitment to relentless effort—keeping momentum and pressing forward even when others might be resting. The Sun Bear Group is driven to keep creating positive change and value, no matter the season.

Lastly, the sun bear is an omnivore, thriving by adapting to whatever resources are available.

For The Sun Bear Group, this adaptability means we actively pursue opportunities across various industries, market cycles, and asset classes.

Our Core Values

Most companies have nice sounding values on their websites, but default to doing business as usual, when it comes down to it. The Sun Bear Group's values aren't aspirational, they're operational. They are the  foundation of who we are, how we operate, who we attract, and who we repel.

Move at the Speed of Trust

Trust is the foundation for any great relationship. In environments with high trust, people collaborate more effectively, and work towards shared goals with minimal friction. Conversely, in low-trust settings, communication slows, misalignment grows, and progress stalls. We prioritize building authentic, transparent relationships that pave the way for effective, impactful work. Trust is not just a value but a strategic asset and competitive advantage.

Growth Is The Goal

Our goal isn’t just business growth—it's about each of us evolving into better versions of ourselves.  Inspired by Carol Dweck’s Mindset, we use business as a vehicle for personal development. When we grow as people, the business grows as a natural byproduct.

The Truth Shall Set Us Free

We embrace truth in its rawest form, knowing that the most profound insights often come from the most uncomfortable facts. Facing these truths head-on helps us grow, solve problems quickly, and make meaningful progress. We believe that true growth happens when we look directly at reality—supported by data, evidence, and honest reflection.

Be Intentionally Impactful

We aren't here just to make money—we’re here to create positive change. Our mission is to positively impact lives by promoting economic empowerment, personal development, and facilitating community. We aim to leave a lasting, positive impact on everyone we work with: our customers, employees, partners, investors, and beyond.
