For founders at the moment that defines the company.

Mergers, acquisitions, and the capital to grow, guided by a Wall Street career, based in Miami.

What we do

If your company needs to raise to grow, that's the work, and it doesn't stop there.

SugarTime sits on the founder's side of the table. We turn a company's next chapter, a raise, a merger, an acquisition, into a disciplined process, with the right people in the room and your leverage protected throughout.

Raise

Capital to grow, structured, positioned, and taken to the right rooms.

Merge

Two companies, one stronger story, from first conversation to close.

Acquire

Buy-side strategy, sourcing, diligence, and negotiation, leverage intact.

How it works

First call to funded.

STEP 1

First call

An honest read on the company, the number, and the timeline. No decks, no theater.

STEP 2

Positioning

The story and materials, built the way capital actually reads them.

STEP 3

The room

The relationships a Wall Street career opens, run as a real, competitive process.

STEP 4

Funded

Terms negotiated, paper signed, capital in, then we stay close after the close.

Who we serve

Founders who are ready.

Our best work is with founders who have a real business, a reason to move now, and want a partner, not a vendor.

· Founders raising real capital, revenue or not, to build and scale
· Founders weighing a merger, sale, or strategic acquisition
· Operators who want Wall Street rigor without the Wall Street distance
· Teams that value a straight answer over a polished maybe

Why most raises fail, and it's not the reason you think

“I got onto Wall Street with a GED, on nothing but tenacity. Thirty years later, I put everything I learned in those rooms on the founder's side of the table.”

FAQ

The questions we get first.

What kinds of companies do you work with?+

Founders with a real plan and a reason to move now, whether or not there's revenue yet, weighing a raise, a merger, or a strategic acquisition. If that's you, the first call is worth your time.

What happens on the first call?+

An honest read on the company, the number, and the timeline. No decks, no theater, just whether there's a real path, and how we'd run it.

How long does the process take?+

It depends on the situation and the market, but every engagement runs the same disciplined path: first call, positioning, the room, and close. We'll give you a realistic timeline on that first call.

Do you only work with Miami companies?+

We're based in Miami, but the work, and the relationships behind it, reaches wherever the right capital and counterparties are.
