Enterprise Value Advisory

For founders ready to increase the value of their business.

Most founders build revenue. Very few build enterprise value. I work with owners of $1M–$100M businesses to strengthen profit, tighten structure and make the company worth buying — whether or not you ever sell.

  • $1 million – $100 million in revenue
  • Product or service based businesses
  • Scaling, acquiring or preparing for exit
  • Focused on profit and a stronger valuation

Meet Vanessa

Built, scaled, bought and sold.

Over two decades I have founded 25+ companies, completed 20 exits, made 11 acquisitions and raised over $400 million in capital. Today I work with founders and boards who want a business that is more profitable, less dependent on them, and worth significantly more than it is today.

Is this you?

The revenue is there. The value is not.

  • You are profitable but the business still depends on you for everything
  • Revenue has grown and margin has not followed
  • You are being approached by buyers and have no idea what you are worth
  • You want an exit option, even if you never take it
  • You are tired of tactics and want a structural plan

How we work

High-Level Strategic Partner

Moving beyond traditional coaching into structured, board-level advisory focused on tangible valuation drivers. Through board appointments and the Founder-to-Enterprise™ Framework, I help established founders navigate complex growth and capital shifts.
