What we do

We help you make smart choices

Lighthouse

We’ve been around almost since sustainability became a thing. We’ve haven’t seen it all, but we’ve seen a lot, and we try to share that experience with you.

More than anything else, we help clients develop a clear-eyed view of what they have, what they need, what it’s worth and who it’s worth it to.

We believe that a successful company needs adequate (but not excessive) capital, paying customers, the right people and the right exit strategy.

What we do

  • We turbocharge client success by advising management teams on business growth and strategy and bringing investors relevant opportunities.
  • We force clear assessments of your company’s opportunities and risks based on decades of experience.
  • We connect clients to potential investors, partners, board members and service providers.
  • We help introduce and facilitate pilot projects and joint ventures with the right partners.
  • We position clients properly to participate in government programs and interpret and provide insight on implications of government policy on the business.

What we don’t do

  • Because we work directly with — and for — founders and senior executives, we don’t join boards of directors. Board members have important and wide-ranging obligations to all shareholders. Exactly as it should be. Our work focuses on the business decisions executives need to be make.
  • We’re not bankers or brokers, so although we can and will introduce you to potential investors, we don’t run formal capital raises. We’re also not direct investors ourselves.
  • We don’t take operating roles at our clients.
  • And, for obvious reasons, we also don’t weigh in on, or sign off on, our client’s tax returns.
