Who we are
We’re reformed finance professionals on our own entrepreneurial journey. We know both sides.
48North was started to transform business owners’ relationships to private equity. We built an advisory option that is free for owners. Our cut comes from the buyer, so any conversations and deals we facilitate are a true win-win for you.
Our team is young, ambitious, and scrappy. Like you, we’re first-time founders who understand the hustle - we’re here to do whatever it takes to get the job done.
