Practice Areas

Four lanes. One methodology.

Majority of active engagements operate in private-sector healthcare M&A, VC raises, group practice and ASC advisory, and investment analysis. Defense and federal healthcare is one practice area, not the firm's center of gravity.

Capital raises, M&A, and MSO/ASC syndication for healthcare and biotech companies. Current book includes a behavioral health seed-stage raise, a DFW physician-investor ASC syndicate, and a non-equity operating partner role with a healthcare holding company building its VC raise plan.

Five-year proformas, sum-of-parts theses, banker mapping, term structure. We build the materials, the model, and the narrative — then help structure the deal.

What We Do
  • VC raise plans, pitch decks, and investor data rooms (seed through Series B)
  • Cap table modeling and dilution analysis
  • Five-year proformas calibrated to raise scenarios
  • Sum-of-parts theses for asset-based valuation
  • Banker mapping and investor outreach strategy
  • Term sheet structuring and term structure analysis
  • M&A advisory: buy-side diligence, sell-side preparation, fairness analysis
  • MSO and ASC syndication structuring for physician-investor partnerships
  • Investor narrative and unit economics development
  • Board-grade financial reporting and capital event communications
