Strategic M&A and Capital Advisory

Supporting founders and boards through fundraising, acquisitions, and strategic transactions.

Strategic Situations We Advise On

1. An acquisition approach

A strategic buyer has expressed interest, and the board is evaluating whether to engage, run a broader process, or continue building independently.

2. Preparing for a capital raise

The company is planning a Series A or growth round and wants to approach investors with clear positioning and a disciplined process.

3. Exploring strategic options

Founders and shareholders want to assess whether partnerships, minority investment, or a potential sale could accelerate the company’s trajectory.

4. Preparing for a future exit

Management wants to position the business over the next 12–24 months for strategic buyers or private equity interest.

5. Navigating investor and board dynamics

Stakeholders may have different views on timing, dilution, liquidity, and strategic direction.

If any of these situations sound familiar, I’m always happy to have an initial conversation.
