Fix the cap stack. Or close it cleanly.
Restructuring and shutdown for venture-backed C-corps — cap-stack cleanup, liability reduction, recaps, and clean dissolutions, run by a team that has built, scaled, and restructured venture-backed companies — working alongside your counsel and bankers.
Two problems, handled two ways.
They're separate decisions. If the company is solvent and you just need it closed, that's a shutdown. If there's a cap stack and liabilities to deal with first, that's a restructuring — which may itself end in a clean wind-down.
There's value worth saving — or a stack to clean.
For companies that aren't simply closing: a messy cap table, stacked preferences, venture debt, liabilities to reduce, or a sale that needs a clean structure first.
- Cap-stack cleanup & recapitalizations
- Liability reduction & creditor negotiation
- Structured wind-downs & ABCs
It's solvent. You just need it closed, cleanly.
A dignified, managed dissolution: filings, resignations, investor comms, and the sequencing that clears directors of personal liability.
- Board resolutions & Delaware dissolution
- Director resignations to clear liability
- Final filings & investor closing statements
What do you need?
Pick a track. Restructuring is fixed-fee or retainer; a shutdown prices instantly below. Either way, the regulated work is executed by licensed counsel and bankers — we quarterback.

This one we handle personally.
Active negotiations and contested matters don't fit a flat fee — the work is open-ended and the judgment calls matter. We take these hourly, or tell you straight if it isn't a fit.
With real debt, this isn't a clean shutdown.
Significant liabilities mean the cap stack and creditors have to be dealt with first — that's a restructuring, not a simple dissolution. It's a different (and better-fit) track for you.
Let's figure out which one you need.
A three-question path-finder walks you through debt, creditors, and assets, and points you to the right track — shutdown, ABC, or bankruptcy — with the reasoning laid out.
Open the path-finder →What we do — and where the line sits.
We're the operator-quarterback. The regulated execution runs through licensed professionals, on their own engagements. That boundary is deliberate — it's what keeps you protected and keeps our fees clean.
What we do
- Diagnose the cap stack and liabilities, and write the plan
- Quarterback the chosen path and protect the board through it
- Coordinate counsel, bankers, and assignees as one point of contact
- Run clean dissolutions end to end
What we don't do
- We don't give legal or tax advice — licensed counsel and CPAs do, on their own engagements
- We don't broker securities or take transaction-based fees — recap financings run through a registered banker
- We don't charge success fees or contingencies — fixed-fee and retainer only
- We can't guarantee no one ever sues — we minimize the grounds and document the record
Three steps. One point of contact.
A short, honest call
Twenty minutes on the cap stack, liabilities, headcount, and creditors. You leave with a recommended track and a straight answer on fit.
The plan, in writing

Run and resolved
We quarterback to the finish — recap closed, liabilities reduced, or the company cleanly dissolved — with the board protected and a clean file.
