Why We’re Different

Ex-operators

Not bankers, consultants,

or brokers

We act as a control-tower over your internal team and external advisors, we own the roadmap, the KPIs, and the critical decision gates, your operating team execute. You get leverage and accountability, not more slide decks.

Five-layer exit architecture

Designed for

U.S. capital markets

We combine a Value Creation Path (VCP) and Exit Readiness Playbook (ERP) into one integrated system, spanning Value Creation, Capital Stack, Ownership & Governance, Narrative, and Exit Optionality, built specifically for the U.S. IPO and M&A standards.

Proven playbooks

5 - 6x valuation lifts

9 - figure EXIT/IPO readiness

$100 - 300M revenue paths

12 - 24 exit timelines

Our playbooks use 90-day growth and margin sprints, SPV structures, continuation vehicles, and dual-track deal processes to turn flat or “stuck” assets into exit-ready stories with clear DPI for investors.

Faster liquidity

For Investors

We partner with select funds and secondaries groups to create liquidity solutions that de-risk their portfolios. Our engineered exits provide:

Faster DPI

Through secondary liquidity and clean cap-table vehicles—single-asset and series SPVs built to avoid double fees, match fund life, and deliver 18–36 month exit visibility.

Premium U.S. comps

By re-architecting governance, story, and capital structures, we underwrite at exit-backed valuations (e.g., forward EBITDA, ARR multiples) rather than “hope and hype,” and pre-align underwriters and strategic buyers.

Optionality

Via dual-track IPO and M&A strategies, continuation vehicles, and structured founder/LP liquidity that keep existing funds whole while inviting in new capital.

Our SPVs and advisory model are designed for:

Secondary funds seeking short-duration, de-risked entry into late-stage tech
LPs seeking top-quartile returns and early liquidity optionality
VCs looking to accelerate exit or recapitalize top portfolio companies

Let’s discuss how we can work together.
