Our story

A firm built on a simple belief.

Capital 42 Advisors was founded on a simple belief: business owners deserve the same level of sophistication, preparation, and advocacy as the buyers sitting across the table.

Founded by a former professional athlete turned entrepreneur and investment banker, our firm combines competitive drive, financial expertise, and firsthand business ownership experience with a deep understanding of what’s at stake when founders make consequential decisions about their companies.

Independent by design and founder-focused by choice, we bring clarity to complex decisions, candid advice to difficult conversations, and unwavering advocacy to every engagement. Whether you’re preparing for growth, exploring a transaction, or considering what’s next, we’re in your corner from the first conversation to the final handshake.
