We only get involved once we invest. From that point on, we work inside the business and take responsibility for the outcome. The engagement follows a clear sequence supported by our own operating platform.
Financial Clarity
We start by understanding the business as it really is. Financials, operations, people, and commercial performance — the facts, not the summary. This gives us a clear view of what’s working and what’s blocking progress.
Change
Once the foundations are stable, we build commercial consistency. Pipeline, conversion, pricing, and margins — tracked and managed with discipline. Growth becomes driven by a system, not effort.
Exit
By this stage, preparing the company for acquisition is a built-in expectation — not a distant possibility. Clean financials. Clear reporting. Documented operations. Leadership that continues without the founder. The company stands up to diligence and holds up under scrutiny.
The Cordien Platform
Everything above is supported by our internal framework. It ensures the work is structured, trackable, and repeatable — so the company leaves us stronger, cleaner, and ready for acquisition.
The Team
Every phase is led by operators who’ve done this before — scarred veterans of operational repair, commercial rebuilding, leadership restructuring, and exit preparation. Their experience drives the work, and their accountability is built into every stage.
