We are useful at every stage. Not just the close.
Most LPs write a check and wait. We show up across the full lifecycle — sourcing, diligence, hiring, marketing, investor relations, and exit. That's the flywheel.
01
Off-Market Sourcing
We help you find deals before they hit the market. Our network, deal flow reach, and outreach tools give you an edge most self-funded searchers don't have access to.
02
Due Diligence
We run the numbers with you — financial modeling, SQL analytics, and institutional-grade underwriting. We catch things that kill deals early, so you don't find out after close.
03
Equity & Terms
Clean structure, market terms, no committee delays. We write $25K–$150K checks with a sweet spot at $50K. For the right deal we can go higher — we're flexible when conviction is there.
04
Hiring & Talent
Post-close hiring is where most acquisitions stall. We activate a professional network across finance, operations, marketing, and technology to help you staff up fast.
05
Marketing & Operations
We have built websites, directories, and lead generation tools from scratch. We bring a digital-native, social-forward marketing perspective most ETA investors simply can't offer.
06
Investor Relations & PR
We help you tell the right story to the right people — customers, lenders, future investors. Value that isn't communicated doesn't compound.
07
Exit & M&A
We think about exit from day one, not the day you want to sell. Our M&A background means we help you structure the business to be acquirable — at the right multiple.
Every stage. One partner.
