Our Purpose:

Mergers & acquisitions (M&A) often carries a negative connotation, synonymous with predatory capitalism, ruthless downsizing, and profit-centric tactics.

But It doesn’t have

to be This way.

We’re on a mission to revolutionize the traditional M&A model and partner with businesses that seek new growth opportunities while adhering to triple-bottom-line values:

• People

• PLanet

• Profits

Our Path:

Specializing in mission-driven buy-side M&A sourcing for private companies or entities looking to grow through acquisition, we offer a comprehensive range of services designed to transform your business and elevate your impact.

We don’t just focus on increasing your bottom line. We aim to amplify your impact by sourcing the right acquisitions.

Our  promise:

We believe that being at the intersection of business transitions, the absolute apex of many entrepreneurs' journeys, is a distinct privilege. Our ultimate goal and purpose is to use that privilege for GOOD and give back, leveraging our resources to REGENERATE the entrepreneurial ecosystem.

We set aside 5% of our top-line proceeds from successful transactions into a fund supporting early-stage entrepreneurs who aim to be a force for good. This commitment to regenerative wealth transfer ensures that wealth flows from successful entrepreneurs back to those just starting their journey. We invite our partners to match our donations, creating a full-circle impact that nurtures the next generation of mission-driven businesses.

Our Values:

• People, Planet, Profits: We believe in the triple-bottom-line approach. Every deal we do should benefit people, protect the planet, and generate profit.

• Integrity and Transparency: We keep it real and value our integrity. We won’t bullshit you. Honesty and openness are at the heart of everything we do.

• Sustainability: We believe in climate change and acknowledge that the impacts of our planet warming hit people of color and low-income communities the hardest. We champion sustainable business practices that help our planet thrive.

• Community Engagement: We love our communities and give back with Volunteer Time Off (VTO) for our team.

• Collaboration: We know that teamwork makes the dream work. Building strong partnerships is what we’re all about.

• Wealth Redistribution: We’re committed to sharing the love. Our success helps others through intentional wealth redistribution.

• Racial Justice and Equity: We're actively practicing being anti-racist. We stand for racial justice, listen first, and work towards equity in all our actions.

• Equity and Inclusivity: We honor and support the full person. Period. Advocating for fairness, equality, and inclusivity regardless of gender, LGBTQ identity, gender, or any intersectionality.
