About Venture 7 Advisors:
a different kind of consulting company.
Venture 7 Advisors was created to offer sophisticated merger and acquisition services to mid-sized companies. Businesses with less than $5 million in revenue are largely served by business brokers and businesses with more than $50 million in revenue are served by investment banks.
But companies with $5 to $50 million in revenue haven’t had a lot of options. They’re larger and more sophisticated than most business brokers can represent, and they’re generally too small to warrant the attention of investment banks. Venture 7 Advisors was created to help bridge that gap between business broker and investment banks.
We provide the kind of guidance and expertise that we wish we had when we were selling our own companies in the past. We’re hands-on entrepreneurs who understand the business issues and emotional complexity of selling a business that you’ve built for years - because we’ve done it ourselves, several times.
If you’re thinking about selling someday, please complete the form below, or feel free to call or email any one of us directly.
