Erica and team were great “… advising me on the steps I needed to take upfront to maximize the selling price, and even some valuable organizational suggestions that had nothing to do with the sale.”

ABOUT ERICA
I’ve sat on both sides of the table.
I co-founded a specialized communications firm and participated in/facilitated a successful ownership transition.
Today, through Cowgirl Ventures, I help founders think strategically about what they want and how they get there. We all make mistakes (I did), and better planning brings more success long-term.
