About ReFounders Partners

ReFounders exists because founders, VCs and angels deserve better options when growth slows, misalignment takes hold and tough decisions start piling up. I’ve been there, and I know the frustration of working with disengaged investors, toxic cap structures, and ‘advisors’ who offer theories instead of solutions. Whilst I'm happy to advise, I prefer to get stuck in, help you untangle the mess, and support you to make the tough decisions that put your business back on track.

How We Work

Starting with a free 15 min chat or a 90 minute deep dive, I aim to give you clarity on your options on day one. From there, I can help you choose a route forward and support you to deliver if needed. No fluff, just fast, pragmatic action with a focus on long-term outcomes.

We're Best At...

  • Operational or financial restructures
  • Recaps, realigning shareholders
  • Mediating risky conversations 
  • Strategic pivots 
  • Business model refinement 
  • Investment preparation and support
  • Exit planning

Secret sauce

After 23 successful restructures, I've learned emotional blockers matter as much as financial ones. I use mediation, curiosity and coaching to align stakeholders before deep work starts. Once we agree on where we are, where we're going, and our risks, planning an energising path forward is possible.

One conversation could change everything.

Our Thesis in a Nutshell

Great Biz = [Assets] x [Strat] x [Cap Structure]


A lot of founders ask why, despite a superb product, sizeable market, strong margins and happy customers they are unable to raise money or exit. Early in our journey, I tried my best to answer in this early video. 


N.B. I am no longer solely working with DTC brands. I am no longer seeking to invest or acquire personally. I am no longer this presentable.
