For owners
You’ve built something you care about. Let’s talk about what’s next.
Taking care of the people and the company is the standard we hold ourselves to. It’s how we intend to show up, not a guarantee we can write into a contract.
Thinking about a sale
Start with a conversation.
After years of building a company, you may be ready for something else. Getting the handoff right matters. The company has people, relationships, and a way of working that took time to build.
We start with you, then your people, then the way the work already gets done, then the numbers. We look for companies with a team in place because those people know the business.
Working together
A direct conversation. A thoughtful handoff.
You’ll deal with me, Alex Brost. I make the decision. You won’t have to tell your story three times to three different people.
I live in Orono, on Lake Minnetonka. For companies in our area, I can be there in person. After a close, I spend a few months in the business, and then a general manager leads the day to day. We plan to hold for the long term.
We’ll talk carefully about a handoff that respects everyone involved, including you. The plan needs to fit the business, the team, and the role you want next. We’ll work through those details together.
Is it a fit?
A short note is enough.
The buy box is the straight version of what we look for and what we pass on. If your company is in that range, send a note.
Every company is different. We’ll be straight with you about what we can do and what needs more work before either of us makes a commitment.
Next step
Tell me about the company.
Where is it, what does it do, and who runs it day to day? That’s enough for a first conversation.
