You built something worth selling. Or you're ready to buy something worth running. Either way, let's make the deal happen.

You know what you want to buy. We find it, vet it, and get you to the closing table faster.
Your business deserves a buyer who values what you built. We run a confidential process and bring qualified buyers to you.
Asset sales, seller financing, earnouts. We structure deals so both sides walk away confident they got it right.
My great-grandfather and grandfather built Foster City, California. They turned marshland into a community of 30,000+ people. Growing up with that legacy taught me something simple: builders who commit to a vision can create things most people think are impossible.
That belief is at the core of everything I do. Helping entrepreneurs succeed is not a business strategy for me. It's a calling, rooted in a family that bet everything on building.
I studied bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania, then spent over six years at ZS Associates in management consulting. I led teams in pharma strategy, sales analytics, and go-to-market design for billion-dollar portfolios.
I earned my MBA at UCLA Anderson on a merit scholarship, specializing in entrepreneurship and technology management. That's where I founded Edily Learning, a "TikTok for learning" ed-tech app. I raised over $480K (including the Yass Prize for Education), grew the app to 5,000+ downloads, and was named one of LA Business Journal's "20 in their 20s" founders.
From there I joined Shopify on the Payments & Growth team, where I helped new merchants go from zero to first sale and scaled Shop Pay Installments into new markets.
Now I build and advise early-stage ventures with AI-native tools, and I run Foster Brokerage to connect small businesses with the right buyers.
I've been on both sides of the table. As a founder raising capital, staring down the decision of whether to keep pushing or step away. And as an advisor helping others navigate the biggest transactions of their careers.
I know the emotional weight of selling something you built. I know the leap of faith it takes to buy something someone else did. My job is to make both sides walk away knowing they got the right deal.
