Navigating Today’s Capital
Landscape is Harder than Ever

Raising capital can feel impossible and like the goalposts keep moving, scaling profitably can grind things to a halt, and exits aren’t as straightforward as they used to be. At the same time, investors and acquirers are struggling to find businesses that make sense for their needs.

I’ve been on both sides of the table – building, scaling, and selling my own company, and now advising founders and investors through this process. I understand what founders need to grow, exit, or secure the right capital, and what investors and buyers look for in a deal.

Through my deep network and hands-on experience, I connect the dots – helping businesses position themselves for the right opportunities while ensuring investors and acquirers find deals that fit within their criteria. Whether you’re raising, selling, or investing, I can help.

Testimonials

  • “My experience working with Johnny was pivotal during a crucial moment in my business's trajectory. After building a nationwide CPG business, raising over $2M in capital, and navigating a tough consumer market, I needed a framework that could facilitate an exit for the company.

Johnny was incredibly helpful and guided me through every step of the process—from preparing for the sale and managing costs during the M&A process to providing transaction guidance and shaping an ideal exit. Working with people who have truly been through it makes all the difference, and I wouldn’t hesitate to work with JBS again, whether on the M&A side or in business development. Johnny was an absolute joy to work with".”
