Mariner Holdings remains an active business acquirer, this time gathering a majority stake in a Leawood-based venture capital fund called Flyover Capital. Flyover Capital was formed about 18 months ago and according to regulatory filings, is currently in the process of raising about $50 to $70 million for the fund. The firm will invest in early-stage technology companies in areas such as mobile, healthcare and agriculture, which are mainly based in the "flyover" country between New York and California.
