Finding a CEO Opportunity is hard

As an emerging leader who has not yet been a CEO, finding that first opportunity can be difficult.


Deal sourcing is complex and Daunting

Early-career CEOs are eager to find and run their first company but don’t know where to start. Kicking off a sourcing process from scratch is an intimidating task.


Deal Execution Requires Experience

Closing a deal takes judgment and a network of effective service providers that aren’t always readily available without a pre-existing relationship.


Creating Value isn’t always straightforward

Building value in small companies is hard with limited resources and experience.

Buying and Running Your First Business Alone Is Tough—We’ve Been There.
