For Operators & Founders — Brillwood Capital Advisory

For founders and operating leaders at pivotal moments.

We work with founders and operating leadership teams at the moments that set a company's trajectory — preparing for an institutional round, entering a new market, building a partnership that defines the next five years, or navigating a transaction that changes the shape of the company.

When we engage

  • Preparing for a Series A through pre-IPO institutional round
  • Entering a new geography — the Gulf, South Asia, North America, or Europe
  • Building a strategic joint venture or long-dated partnership
  • Navigating an M&A event — buy-side, sell-side, or merger
  • Rebuilding capital structure ahead of a major pivot or inflection

What you get

  • A senior partner as your dedicated counterpart from mandate through close
  • Access to Brillwood's institutional investor rolodex of 5,000+ direct relationships
  • Our proprietary outreach and diligence process — the engine behind our three-week term-sheet record
  • Relationship-led introductions to strategic counterparts across the Gulf, North America, and South Asia
  • Institutional discretion throughout — our best work never leaves the room

How we structure engagements

  • Fixed-fee for scoped diagnostic or planning mandates
  • Success fee for capital-raising and transaction mandates
  • Retained engagements for ongoing CFO-level support in select sectors

Building a frontier business?

Tell us where you are and what you need from an advisor — capital, strategy, partnerships, or all three. We'll come back with a sharp first read within one business day.

A senior partner will follow up within one business day. All communications are treated with institutional discretion.

We engage a small number of mandates at a time.

If the work described here overlaps with the decision in front of your business, we would welcome an introductory conversation.
