Founder-led, entrepreneurial firms face unique challenges. Entrepreneurs need an objective sounding board and guide when grappling with the inherent contradictions of wanting to be involved with every decision while simultaneously selecting, trusting, and delegating to team members. Similarly, leaders understand they must institute process and consistency without losing the nimble, entrepreneurial spirit that allowed them to grow in the first place. The solutions to these and other growth challenges rarely come from an attitude that sees the options as binary choices. Instead, 3rd Avenue Partners brings a clear-eyed, multi-faceted approach to creating a path forward that best positions the firm to build on its commercial promise.
