Ownership Interests
Case Studies
The Company is a rapidly growing franchisor of IV administered, medically operated, “cellular healthcare” clinics expanding nationally. Nick served as a corporate finance and business affairs advisor. Nick collaborated with the CEO in pursuit of the Company’s initial funding round and advised on the funding strategy, the presentation of the proforma historical operating results and the development of the investor model, the teaser and other marketing collateral, the investor networking and helped engage in the negotiations with targeted investors.
The Company became challenged as a result of material changes in third party insurance reimbursement policies. Nick served as an Outsourced Operating Partner reporting directly to the Company’s board and equity sponsors. Nick was asked to provide oversight and hands-on coaching to the Company’s first time CEO and Controller. Nick helped guide the company through its liquidity challenges as it sought to stabilize the core business and secured new funding through complementary acquisitions. Nick and his team helped create the business plan using key financial and marketing data, and by integrating the key components of data analytics, financial management, marketing strategies and unit operations. Nick spearheaded the design and development of cohort reports that yielded critical insights on missed revenue and profit opportunities that allowed leadership to action EBITDA positively. Nick supported the equity sponsors in the pursuit of acquisitions and third party capital financing.
Client is a private equity backed substance abuse recovery center which had been severely underperforming post-acquisition thereby requiring ongoing follow-on capital infusions from the company’s backers. Nick was retained to perform an initial assessment of the company’s situation, operating results and organizational dynamics. The assessment through direct interaction and consultation with key company personnel identified several pre & post-acquisition mis-steps and decisions that served to lead to organizational C-suite dysfunction, team disharmony and underperformance. The assessment also identified weaknesses and deficiencies in corporate governance practices, financial management & reporting practices. Nick led the subsequent development and implementation of a ten (10) point stabilization and organizational change initiative.
Nick served as a corporate finance and business affairs advisor to a start-up entrepreneur that had developed environmental technology consisting of proprietary eco-friendly air, water & soil purification solutions. Nick supported the founder’s Series A fund raising effort in the development of the company’s offering memorandum, investor materials, valuation methodology, investment security instruments and participated in investor discussions. Tentacle created the client’s brand identity, designed & built its corporate website, supported the ensuing go-to market launch strategy.
