A Real-Equity Partner for Operators Ready to Own a Business
For experienced operators and MBB or Big 4 consultants who are serious about acquiring and running a real business. We back the people we partner with, with real equity, and work the deal alongside them from search through ownership. Without leaving the role you have today.
Operating since 2017 · MBB and M&A founders · $10B+ team track record.
What makes this different
If you're serious about Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition, you've already seen the options. Quit your job and search full-time on your own. Or take a minority stake as a hired operator inside someone else's structure. We built something that isn't either.
We back you with real equity: We are not a community, a course, or a back-office service. We commit our own capital alongside yours. Your success and ours are aligned from day one.
A path to majority ownership: You are being prepared to own and run the business, meaningfully. Not to hold a minority stake while someone else decides what happens next.
An active partner, end to end: We work the deal with you. Search, diligence, financing, close, and the early years of operating. Not an investor who shows up for board meetings.
Search without quitting your job: You search alongside your current role until the deal closes. No income gap, no all-or-nothing bet before there is a real deal on the table.
Who This Is For
10 to 20 years of professional experience, with direct P&L ownership of a real business unit, or engagement-scope leadership at MBB or Big 4.
Already serious about ETA. You've done your own homework on search funds, self-funded search, and independent sponsor models. You're past the podcast stage.
Financially disciplined. The kind of operator a lender would underwrite without raising an eyebrow, and comfortable putting meaningful personal capital alongside a partner.
A real leader. You've been the person others followed, owned outcomes, and carried accountability. Not just produced deliverables.
Looking for long-term ownership and operating responsibility. The right partner, not the fastest path.
How It Works
No pressure, no obligation. The first step is simply understanding whether there's a fit worth exploring on both sides.
A Private Conversation
We start by understanding your career, what you've run, and what you're looking for in a partner and a business. Confidential, with no obligation.
Mutual Vetting
If there's a fit, we go deeper, both ways. You're learning whether we're the right partner just as much as we're learning about you and how you operate.
We Map The Path
When it's right on both sides, we determine how we'll work the search and the deal, and the structure that fits you, from here through ownership.
Who You'd Be Partnering With
Operating since 2017. A firm with closed deals and operating companies behind it. Not a new entrant testing the model.
A $10B+ team track record. Founded by MBB alumni and M&A professionals from private equity and venture capital.
Real equity, actively deployed. When we back an operator we commit our own capital alongside them and work the deal end to end. Real experience behind you, not advice from the sidelines.
That's the partner standing behind you.
