What We Do

Building Value Over the Life Cycle of Your Business

From startup to exit, a business undergoes constant transformation. Change requires strategy, capital and execution. Entrepreneurs turn to us for advice in value defining events throughout the life cycle of their companies – raising capital, making strategic acquisitions, realizing partial liquidity, and exiting their business.

Gain Liquidity


Monetizing the value of your business can be accomplished in many ways and with differing degrees of dilution to your ownership.

  • Debt recapitalization – you retain all your equity
  • Minority equity sale
  • Majority recapitalization – you retain a minority equity stake for a “second bite at the apple”
  • Full sale
