Advisory Services

Strategic Advisory for Founders, Owners & Executives

 

Not every important business decision is a transaction.

Some of the highest-impact moments happen before capital is raised, outside an acquisition, or long before an exit is on the table.

DH76 Capital provides paid strategic advisory services to founders, business owners, and executive teams who want experienced, commercially grounded guidance on growth, capital structure, operations, and major decisions.

This is not coaching.

This is not theory.

This is real-world advisory informed by decades of acquisitions, capital markets, and active ownership.
