Since our formation in 2019, Sepulveda Partners has helped founders scale their business, returning significant value to owners. Our advisors design and guide rigorously defined strategies for enterprise value growth, and bring the practical know-how to get the work done.
To maximize return to founders through explosive enterprise growth
Our approach to partnering with companies is phased to ensure alignment and demonstrate value. Over 5 phases, we author, maintain and guide the growth plan so founders can focus on execution.
pre-engagement
We attempt to answer if your company has the potential to increase enterprise value at least 5x in the next 3 to 5 years, and achieve a minimum $50 million valuation.
pre-engagement
We develop an investment thesis for your company with growth projections and the critical operational, strategic and financing initiatives necessary to achieve our targets.
We guide the founder through the organizational changes necessary to prepare for growth and financing. This may include changes to the operational or financial structures. We introduce governance, and technology solutions where necessary.
We lead financing activities that are appropriate to your company profile. We identify debt and equity investors that align with the strategy and guide founders through critical decisions regarding how best to finance growth initiatives.
Rapid growth periods are exciting and dynamic. Organizations pressed into new situations with new stakeholders and all of it requires founder attention. We provide strategic consistency and operational support along the way.
