Our Focus

We advise Colorado owner-operators selling the business they built — and first-time buyers acquiring their own — through transactions of under $25M in enterprise value.

Services

Six ways we work.

Exit Strategy

Prepare your business — and yourself — for the day you sell. 6 to 18 months out.

Seller Support

Advisory in your corner through the sale — positioning, negotiation, and deal terms. We don't broker; we advise.

Buy-Side Advisory

Sourcing, structuring, and closing acquisitions for owner-operators and small holdcos.

Due Diligence

Standalone financial, operational, and commercial diligence for buyers and lenders.

Merger Support

Facilitate combinations between operating companies with clean structural handoff.

Growth Consulting

Scale readiness — systems, operations, and value drivers — before or beyond a deal.

Approach

Why the kestrel.

Larger raptors chase. The kestrel hovers. It hangs in place, wings beating, watching. When the moment is right, it drops with extreme precision. Every strike is deliberate. Nothing is wasted.

Patience is not passivity — it's the exact posture of an advisor who knows the difference between the deal that closes and the deal that changes an owner's life.

Precision

Every deal is worth doing right, or not at all.

Patience

The best moment to move is often not the first.

Focus

We watch, wait, and strike when the target is real.

Considering a transaction?
