Investing for Founders
We have a lot of long-term considerations, and it's all on our shoulders.
Retirement, education expenses, succession planning, long-term care, and estate planning are topics that arise for us all. We advise founders interested in preserving their assets, providing protection for their family and planning for their future.
Who We Help
When we’re establishing a new business we have a range of questions about how to manage the funds that we have already accumulated, and how to best balance our future needs with the current needs of the business. Financial planning tailored for founders:
- 401k rollovers when a founder is starting a business as a second career
- Investing the proceeds from the sale of a business
- Founders establishing benefit plans for themselves and their employees
- Inventors licensing new products
Founders First
We cultivate strong relationships because we put the founder first. We develop customized investment portfolios so founders mitigate risk and diversify investable assets outside of the core business. We balance portfolios to help founders safely gain exposure across equities and fixed income asset classes, thus providing the security of liquidity. We also assist in simplifying and minimizing transaction costs, while also benefiting from leading international allocation algorithms.
