We're entrepreneurs just like you. All of us at Venture 7 have started, grown, and successfully sold our own companies (several times).
We're more than business sale intermediaries. We're strategists and doers who understand the challenges of building and exiting a business - because we've lived it.
I bring a unique combination of creativity, analytical ability and general business experience to his clients. From branding to financial analysis, I'm able to identify the critical barriers to business growth and guide companies through those barriers.
