He has founded and operated multiple successful companies, from a national utility concierge platform serving over 10,000 customers per month, to a high-volume specialty pharmacy, to a multi-concept entertainment venue featuring a record label, live music venue, and restaurant. His real-world ownership experience gives him unique insight into the emotional and financial challenges business owners face when preparing for an exit.

See What People Are Saying

“Working with VentureKey Capital was the best decision I could’ve made. From the initial discovery call to the final closing documents, they made every step of the process incredibly smooth. They helped clarify what buyers look for, walked me through the valuation process, and provided constant updates without me ever needing to chase them. I’ve worked with other consultants in the past, but this was different—they actually cared. I never felt like I was just another client or transaction. The team was professional, responsive, and sharp. If you’re considering selling your business and don’t know where to start, start with them.”
