Independent. Senior-led. Built for founders who only sell their company once.
Independent advice
No lending arm, no captive fund, no conflicts. We answer to one party — you.
Senior attention
The partners who pitch the engagement are the ones who run it. No hand-offs to junior staff.
Cross-border reach
Houston HQ with a European partner practice — direct access to strategic and financial buyers on both sides of the Atlantic.
Middle-market focus
Deal sizes typically $5M–$150M in enterprise value across industrials, energy services, healthcare services, and tech-enabled services.
Rigorous analytics
Institutional-quality models, defensible valuation ranges, and marketing materials built to withstand buyer scrutiny.
Aligned economics
Success-weighted fee structures. We win when the transaction closes on terms that work for you.

Track record
Experience across the full transaction cycle.
We have advised on sell-side processes, buy-side acquisitions, cross-border transactions, and independent valuations in sectors where middle-market businesses operate. Every mandate is led by a partner, supported by a small senior team, and documented to institutional standards.
Value creation focus
Positioning that translates into measurable terms.
Founder-to-partner
No junior-only teams. You speak to decision-makers.
“We built Intuition to give middle-market founders the same quality of advice that large companies receive — delivered by the people who actually run the process.”
