Navigate deals. Unlock growth.

We help founders and business owners navigate $100k-$10M transactions from M&A support to capital raising.

You scrutinize your cap table, earn your equity, and look to reap the control and rewards that come with that. We are tired of seeing businesses fight to grow, fight to exit, and then give away 5-15% of value to a broker or advisor who joined at the end of the road and collected a big check. We charge a flat fee on a project basis and deliver the value of a partner without being compensated like one.

About Us

We are a team of entrepreneurs and investors who started 98 Advisors after paying too many consultants and investment banks too much money for minimal value. We enjoy digging into new companies and supporting capital raising and acquisition journeys. The advisory and investment banking landscape has, in our opinion, become inflated with fees too rich for the value they provide. We set out to offer world-class guidance and support for very favorable rates. We typically charge a flat fee regardless of transaction size, giving you all of the access to us that you need without worrying about racking up billable hours, or paying a fee based on a deal value that is not correlated to the amount of work at hand.
