Our Mission
To make high-end strategic finance and investment banking more accessible.
We are different from your traditional investment bank:
- For M&A advisory, we provide flexible engagements: either hourly billing with NO transaction fees, or deal MILESTONE pricing
- In addition to M&A, we provide strategic finance to create value. As strategic CFOs, we are a part of your team, helping you get to the next stage of growth.
- And for those who are simply looking to find credible buyers, we built a platform that does one simple thing: connects private companies to potential buyers (see Capital Concierge). The platform is ZERO cost to use.
When does the above construct work well?
- When you wish to prepare early and maximize value.
- When you want a partner, not a transactional advisor: someone who executes alongside you instead of delegating work to junior teams while shifting attention to the next deal.
- When you don’t want to give up a meaningful percentage (3-10% of transaction value) of the company that you’ve worked hard to build.
- When you have inbound interest and an inclination as to who the buyer should be.
- When you want to avoid exclusivity lock-ins or long tail periods.
- When you are struggling with your current advisor and need a fresh perspective.
