Built, raised, and sold — 25 years on every side of the table, not just advising from outside it.
Discretion. Integrity. Diligence.
You see more deals than you have time to check properly. We look at the numbers, the story, and the parts a founder hopes won't come up. Fewer introductions, each one already vetted, every conversation held in confidence.
We have experience on both sides of the investment process — as founders raising capital, and as advisers reviewing businesses on behalf of investors. That means we know what to look for and where the problems usually are.
We work with a defined group of investors. We do not broadcast opportunities. When we make an introduction, it is because we believe the match is right and the business is ready. The introductions are fewer; the conversations are better.
Every engagement is held in strict confidence. We do not discuss what businesses we are reviewing, what we have introduced, or to whom. The founders we work with know that discretion is a condition of our involvement.
Customer concentration. Founder dependency. Legal exposures. IP ownership. Key-person risk. Revenue quality. These are the questions a rigorous due diligence process will surface. We find them first — so there are no surprises in the room when the deal is live.
We look at the numbers the way an investor's team will. We stress-test the story against the evidence in the business. And we only make an introduction when we are satisfied the opportunity holds up.
Revenue quality, margin structure, cash generation, working capital, and the assumptions underpinning projections. We look at the financial model the way an investor's team will — and identify where it will be challenged.
Whether the narrative holds up against the evidence in the business. A compelling story built on weak foundations creates more problems than it solves. We check both sides of that equation.
Customer concentration, founder dependency, legal exposures, IP ownership, key-person risk, and the questions the due diligence process will surface. We find them first so there are no surprises in the room.
Whether this business and this opportunity is right for your investment thesis. We do not make introductions that are not a good fit — we would rather pass than waste your time or the founder's.

We only take on work where we can make a difference, so the first step is understanding what you need.
We check the deal before it reaches you.
