Strategic Growth Partnerships:
The Incubator
We created an incubator model to support founders who are still building — offering strategic guidance, capital, and hands-on partnership to help scale the business before pursuing an exit.
For founders who are not yet ready to sell, but know they need help getting there, we offer capital and hands-on support to accelerate growth and unlock enterprise value.
-
Growth capital and operational insight
-
Support with go-to-market, revenue strategy, and team building
-
A founder-first approach focused on protecting equity and legacy
Sell-Side M&A Advisory
We specialize in confidential sell-side M&A advisory for founder-led businesses preparing for strategic exits. Whether you're pursuing a full acquisition or minority investment, we lead the process discreetly — from valuation strategy and deal positioning to buyer outreach, due diligence, and negotiation. Our goal is to help you maximize enterprise value while preserving your legacy.
We support founder-led companies preparing for exit with:
-
Strategic positioning to enhance valuation and market fit
-
Targeted buyer outreach to align with founder goals and cultural fit
-
End-to-end deal execution including negotiation, diligence, and closing

Confidential processes designed to minimize disruption and maximize outcomes
Buy-Side Support
Looking to grow through acquisition? We support founders, family offices, and private investors with comprehensive buy-side services. From sourcing aligned acquisition targets to financial modeling, due diligence, and deal structuring, we act as your strategic partner throughout the process. Our team helps ensure each acquisition is a clear fit — culturally, financially, and operationally.
We work with capital partners and strategic buyers to:
-
Source and evaluate founder-led acquisition opportunities
-
Align deal flow with investment theses and growth strategies
-
Lead communication and diligence with founder teams
-
Structure transactions that support post-close success
Exit Planning
Not ready to sell yet — but want to be? Our exit planning services help founder-led companies prepare years in advance. We guide you through value-driving initiatives, succession planning, financial readiness, and strategic positioning so you can move toward a premium exit on your terms. Whether your goal is to sell, recapitalize, or hand off leadership, we help you create a plan worth executing.
We help founders explore future exit opportunities by:
-
Assessing valuation potential and deal-readiness
-
Identifying strategic gaps or operational blockers
-
Offering coaching, capital, and M&A preparation guidance

Structuring roadmaps for long-term, value-maximizing exits
