Cash Out. Stay In. Win Both Ways.

How non-control equity deals help founders take chips off the table—without stepping away.

What’s a Non-Control Deal?


A non-control deal (also called a minority equity investment) allows you to sell a portion of your business—usually 30–49%—while continuing to lead it. You stay in charge. We come alongside you with capital, expertise, and strategic support.


Why Founders Choose This Path:


  • Partial Liquidity: Take money off the table now, without giving up future upside
  • Growth Capital: Invest in people, infrastructure, or expansion opportunities
  • Optionality: Set yourself up for a bigger second exit later
  • Legacy Protection: Stay at the helm and shape your company’s future
  • Experienced Partner: Get strategic guidance without ceding control

Is It Right for You?

This structure might be a fit if:

You’re not ready to exit, but want to reduce personal financial risk.

You’re growing fast and need capital for the next leap.

You’re open to a future full sale, but want to go farther first.

You want a partner who respects your team, culture, and control
