CEOs, angel investors, early employees, strategic partners. Anyone with equity. Selling a small stake solves liquidity or risk problems, it doesn’t make you disloyal or greedy. Transactions like this take place often, in fact, you probably work with someone who has already sold. You just rarely hear about it.

Fund a start-up: Our clients are happily engaged in their current business. Many have an opportunity to invest in, or co-found, another venture. Selling a portion of the existing venture helps entrepreneurs keep doing what they love: Starting something new.
Solve a problem: Life doesn’t come cheap. Some clients sell small stakes to fund large purchases, family expenses, or divorce. Regardless of motivation, obtaining liquidity from discreet, private transactions solves otherwise stressful problems for sellers.
Cash for option exercise: Today, exercising large option grants can require large amounts of after-tax money. We give you alternatives that solve this problem, risk free.
Managing risk: It can be hard to look at your job as an investment. Smart sellers do just that and as their company gains traction, they make sure they bank some of their equity. In our experience, we have never had an entrepreneur say that they regretted selling a little along the way. We've heard many say they regret they never sold at all.
