 The principals of The Capital Corp. are relaxed and helpful as a photographer turns their lobby upside down. They talk casually as a large rug is spun around, a heavy sofa moved aside, a pair of tables pushed out of the way. They pose for a picture with their easy-talking president and CEO, C. Dan Adams, in the middle. When the photographer is finished, the men restore the room themselves. They do it smoothly, without discussing or deciding who grabs the rug and who moves the sofa. Together, the company principals and their president work efficiently until the task is done. That simple act of putting a room in its proper order is an appropriate metaphor for how this executive team works at The Capital Corp. in Greenville, where the president and his key players do the heavy lifting themselves.

 It was a cold, windy day this January when Elizabeth Allen’s sister, Katherine Cross, came to her with an idea. Cross had been downtown in Greenville earlier in the day and ducked into an artist’s studio to seek shelter from the rain. There, Cross met Al Keiser, an accomplished photographer whose digital prints on satin and other fabrics caught her eye. Cross immediately thought of her sister, a chemist and aficionado of textiles and fashion.

 Janet Christy quickly recalls why she set out to start her own Greer-based consulting firm: “Demand and evolution.” After spending 25 years in the telecommunications industry, where Christy designed and launched a number of communication services for the public and private sector, including leading a team at BellSouth to provide Internet access for all K-12 schools in South Carolina, Christy started consulting with economic development groups to help them use their technology as marketing tools. That work led her to help small businesses and women- and minority-owned businesses grow.

 A rhythmic beep-beep and a flashing yellow light alert you to the slow, sideways slide of a glossy, white oversized door. Below this door, a narrow steel plate rises up to seal the recess so you can safely cross over the threshold. Step inside and you’ll find a room with walls that are paneled in an Op Art black-and-white geometric design. As you walk around, you can’t help but notice that your footfalls are eerily muffled even though the space is empty except for a broad platform set slightly off center. If you’re thinking this is some hipster lounge with entry only for VIPs, you’d only be partly wrong.
