When We Help:
Five Critical Business Inflection Points
At Founded Partners, we understand that every business journey involves critical inflection points—moments of significant change that define your company's future. Our experienced team provides hands-on guidance, strategic insight, and direct partner involvement to expertly navigate these pivotal stages.
Key Inflection Points We Support:
Raising Capital
Securing funding is essential for business growth but can be a complex and demanding process. Founded Partners supports you through every stage—from preparing investor materials, financial modeling, and pitch strategy to actively engaging investors and negotiating optimal funding terms. Our experienced partners ensure your fundraising journey is successful and strategic.
Scaling After Funding or Reinvesting Profits
Once your business secures funding or begins reinvesting profits, the next challenge is effectively deploying that capital. We help you structure your operations for sustainable growth, develop efficient processes, and build a capable team aligned with your long-term objectives. Our hands-on approach ensures your scaling efforts are strategic, manageable, and positioned for ongoing success.
Preventing or Navigating a Downturn
Every business faces challenging periods or the risk of potential downturns. Whether due to economic shifts, industry changes, or internal factors, downturns require decisive action and strategic clarity. Our team quickly identifies inefficiencies, supports cost restructuring, refines business models, and provides experienced leadership guidance to proactively prevent or navigate your company safely through difficult times.
Rapid Scaling Management: Navigating Explosive Demand
When your business faces sudden, intense market demand driven by rapid industry shifts, decisive action is critical. Explosive growth requires swift decisions, immediate operational adjustments, and rapid reinforcement of your team and infrastructure. Founded Partners delivers an agile, responsive approach to help you navigate these pressures effectively, ensuring you fully capture the opportunities presented by exceptional market conditions.
Exit Planning & Execution
A well-executed exit strategy is crucial for maximizing your company's value and ensuring a smooth transition. Our comprehensive exit planning includes precise valuation analysis, strategic positioning, deal negotiation, and transaction management. We help prepare your business thoroughly to achieve optimal outcomes for shareholders and leadership teams.

Navigating Inflection Points.
Founder Advisory
We provide deeply personal, one-on-one advisory support for founders. Our work combines business strategy, leadership development, and space to work through what’s on your mind—whether it's business, personal, or somewhere in between.
Each week, we meet for a focused session that includes:
Mindspace Review: An open, confidential check-in on what's keeping you up at night.
Strategic Advisory: High-level planning and problem-solving for your company’s growth.
Accountability: Tracking key priorities and commitments to keep progress on track.
This is not therapy, but it’s highly therapeutic. We create space for founders to think clearly, lead confidently, and move forward with focus.
Depending on your needs, we may also join strategic meetings, support planning sessions, or serve as a long-term thought partner.
Wealth Structuring & Succession Planning
Proactive wealth structuring and succession planning are vital, particularly when establishing personal shareholding strategies (personally held shares, holding companies, or family trusts). Our partner, Courtney Anderson, specializes in setting up robust financial frameworks early in your business journey, especially critical when preparing for funding rounds, IPOs, or business exits.
New Market Identification & Product Launches
When considering growth opportunities through new markets, products, or service lines, our partner Matt Pierce provides expert market analysis, strategic planning, and practical execution support. We help you accurately identify opportunities, manage associated risks, and implement effective launch strategies.
Comprehensive Support Across Every Stage
At each inflection point, Founded Partners provides specialized expertise and direct partner involvement. Our team combines deep strategic insight, financial excellence, and practical leadership experience, ensuring you receive personalized support precisely when your business needs.
