ABOUT AUDACITY IB
Audacity IB is a principled, family-owned investment bank and transformative consulting firm that exclusively serves entrepreneur-owned and operated businesses across both traditional and disruptive industries, including life sciences, healthcare, technology, consumer products, and wellness.
We lead at the intersection of investment banking and strategy consulting, delivering exceptional investment banking services, integrated with full business lifecycle consulting services that are sophisticated, super lean, and razor focused on ultimately delivering extraordinary first-time business exit outcomes.
Award-Winning Firm,
Serving the Best and Brightest
We exclusively serve founder-owned businesses in the $20 to $200 million potential first-time exit target transaction value range.
We are intentional and very selective about the clients that we choose to represent – we specialize in selling founder companies to discerning private equity firms and other sophisticated buyers.
Unlike other firms, we provide integrated investment banking and strategy consulting services, concentrated on a singular end goal – delivering extraordinary first-time business exit outcomes.

Innovative, Long-Value Services
Unlike traditional investment banks, we serve as long-term builders and co-operators that excel at working alongside our founder clients as daily “in-the-trenches” partners. We are not buyers, but advisors that offer a proven, proprietary long-tail integration approach to building and transforming businesses before they are sold in a first-time exit.
And when the time comes for an exit, we act as a relentless, 100% independent champion, award-winning advisor – an exclusive sell-side broker/dealer to drive an exceptional valuation outcome.
We enable clients to strategically reap and monetize the substantial future value upside that they deserve, sooner rather than later, above and beyond what may have been realized by hiring an institutional investment bank.
100% Independent,
Creative, Dynamic, and Aggressive
We are 100% independent – not affiliated with any private equity firms or an outside broker/dealer.
Full independence enables us to be very creative and dynamic in helping you strategically grow your business, and to be very aggressive in representing you upon exit.
We also have deep expertise in selling founder companies to private equity firms and other sophisticated buyers.
Driven to Make an Impact
Our mission is to transform the lives of our clients and the companies that they serve by delivering superior exit results. But that is just the start.
We are committed to supporting social progress by offering pro bono consulting services to charitable organizations on a select basis.
We are also planning for the future establishment and launch of a foundation, the Audacity Foundation. We believe that the unconstrained spirit drives global entrepreneurship, positive change, and social progress.
Our mandate is resilience – supporting and enhancing the physical and emotional wellbeing of youth to help them develop into resilient future leaders, regardless of socioeconomic or family origin. In addition to learning about what we do, learn about what drives us.
