Privately Held | Washington, D.C.
A privately held business and legacy enterprise focused on developing and managing strategic business interests, investments, and long-term initiatives.
Preserving what has been built. Developing what comes next.
Stearns Enterprises LLC reflects a long-term commitment to entrepreneurship, ownership, responsible stewardship, and legacy. Its purpose is to thoughtfully manage established interests while creating room for new business, investment, and community-focused opportunities.
Stearns Steel Enterprises LLC was originally established in connection with a potential opportunity Kyle Von Stearns was structuring to serve as a contractor for steel-related requirements associated with the development of the Washington Nationals’ baseball facilities. Although that opportunity did not ultimately become the company’s long-term business direction, the original legal name was retained.
As Kyle’s professional interests expanded beyond that initial opportunity, the company began operating publicly as Stearns Enterprises LLC. Today, Stearns Enterprises serves as a privately held business and legacy enterprise through which Kyle develops and manages strategic business interests, investments, real estate activities, media projects, personal-development initiatives, charitable efforts, and long-term family legacy planning.
In 2003, Kyle Von Stearns entered the electronic-payments and business-finance industries. He later helped build Paradigm Funding and Payment Solutions into a company with approximately 30 employees before the business was acquired by Cornerstone in 2008. His professional work now spans electronic payments, business strategy, real estate, media, personal development, storytelling, charitable service, and legacy planning.
