From The Last Ten Years To The Next
We're a unique team with a long-standing history of friendship & entrepreneurship
Early on, we each discovered our love of entrepreneurship from our families' small businesses. Most recently, our passion only grew as we worked on a startup together. From navigating regulatory hurdles and marketing challenges to crafting a solid team and product, we're now more familiar with what it takes to build and scale a great company.
Today, the two of us are excited to take the next step in our entrepreneurial journey and become leaders & CEOs of a great small business, all while helping an existing owner transition thoughtfully. We believe we're the right partners with the foundation & heart to preserve and grow your company over the next ten years & beyond!
Steve Goulas
Co-Founder
Steve spent most of his career in finance, working in investment banking at Morgan Stanley and growth investing at TA Associates. As an investor, Steve worked closely with company CEOs on strategic growth initiatives and M&A acquisitions. He particularly enjoyed learning first-hand from these experienced operators. Steve earned his bachelor’s from Yale in 2017 and his MBA from Harvard Business School in 2024. Steve is the oldest of three and grew up in a small town in New Hampshire, having lived with his grandparents while his family saved up for their first home. Steve loves graphic design, plays the alto saxophone, and is a Canadian dual-citizen.
From an early age, Steve worked at his grandfather's coin and stamp business. In addition to traveling to local trade shows, he helped manage inventory and check for "rare" coins. Steve looked up to his grandfather and learned it's truly possible to turn something you love into a great business.
