O u r P u r p o s eHelping you fund, grow and exit your startup

The process of raising growth capital is very different from raising early stage capital

It is cheaper than ever to start companies, but more expensive than ever to build market leaders. If that’s your aspiration, you need growth capital

We help startups prepare for growth stage and help them raise the capital needed to become market leaders

We have sat on both sides of the table. We have funded, grown and exited many companies

We offer up that experience through ongoing coaching and mentoring.

A low touch, high impact way to help you grow

There are few credible choices for advisors to facilitate sub $100M exits. We fill that gap

We work with you to facilitate the BD and Corp Dev intros that pave the way to an eventual exit

If you decide to exit, we manage the process for you from start to finish

SurePath maximizes your optionality: We make sure you know what it takes to build a market leader and capitalize you towards that goal.

We ensure you are always in the minds of strategic buyers so that if they decide to make a move in your space, you are in the conversation. You can then decide; Keep going or exit?
