LIKE TRAVERSING CLASS VI RAPIDS
Class VI rapids are the most dangerous category of whitewater on earth, safely traversable only by Olympic-level paddlers. Likewise, a company sale or capital raise transaction is the most treacherous stage of the business lifecycle. We specialize on helping entrepreneurs prepare for and achieve their personal best in this most challenging part of their journeys.
CLASS VI PARTNERS
Why Class VI?
We get it. We know what it’s like to own and operate businesses, because we’ve done it.
We know it’s about more than financial reward. It’s about solving big problems. It’s about leading a team. It’s about acting with intention and making an impact.
We also understand how much of the journey entrepreneurs undertake solo—and how stressful that responsibility can be.
In our opinion, entrepreneurs are the heroes in the American story and deserve every possible reward. That’s why we developed a comprehensive solution to take a business owner from company growth and optimization through a sale or capital raise transaction and on to whatever’s next in life.
We want to help you maximize value in your business and increase your confidence that actions you take today will get you where you want to go tomorrow. Because empowering the entrepreneurial spirit—it’s what we do.
