Transforming Your Work into an Enduring Legacy

Entrepreneur Owner-Managers are a unique species. They care more. Because we have worked with hundreds of them, we appreciate, empathize, and understand them. We like them. We think of our work with them as our calling. We believe that EOMs are the most powerful pro-social and pro-economic force on the planet.

High-performing EOM businesses are rare and valuable. They merit unique methods to choose new owners. The right fit of values, culture, and alignment by best investors always unlocks superior Enterprise Value. Our broad cross industry experience gives us the widest field of visions to investor opportunities resulting in the creation of $Billions of Enterprise Value created with hundreds of EOMs.

Entrepreneur Owner-Manager Resources

With scar tissue informed by scholarship in positive psychology and finance, we have a library of thought leadership that we freely share with EOMs.

"I read Enterprise Value and it truly hit home. I typically gain a couple nuggets of wisdom from each book I read; however, I was a bit overwhelmed by this one. It seemed that it was written for me. I had to take a break from it for a bit because I was getting too much information too quickly. The book has helped me gain a much clearer perspective on what I need to do in the coming years as I prepare for my eventual exit. While a lot of it was already on my radar, there were a couple very important things that I completely overlooked. Thank you for sharing it."

Seller Beware

We provide some learnings from years of experience with Entrepreneur Owner-Managers who are thinking about a capital gain someday in the private transaction market (what we call the Seller Beware market).
