Start a conversation.

We read everything ourselves. Below are a few notes on what helps, depending on who you are. None of it is required.

• If you built a business

  Whether you're ready to talk terms or only starting to think about what comes next.

  If it helps, you might include:

  • what the business does, and how long it has existed
  • roughly how many people work there
  • what you'd like for yourself: stay, step back or leave

• If you advise a founder

  Accountants, succession advisers, lawyers and bankers: we're glad to hear from you first, before your client is named.

  If it helps, you might include:

  • sector and region
  • size in revenue and EBITDA
  • what your client wants for the people and the business

• If you're starting something

  We co-found rarely, and only where the idea, the market and the person justify it.

  If it helps, you might include:

  • the problem, and who has it
  • why you
  • what you need besides money

  No deck needed.

• If you've run serious businesses

  We're small, and there may be no role today. We'd still like to know you.

  If it helps, you might include:

  • what you've built or run
  • what you'd like to do next
  • a link to your LinkedIn profile
