Hertas connects B2B companies with the buyers, sellers, and capital they need — before the market gets crowded.

No deal to point at yet — so here’s exactly what I put in motion.
- Private Equity — sponsor sourcing a platform or add-on → company ready to sell or recapitalize When a sponsor needs a proprietary target that isn't already being shopped to five other buyers, I put a company ready to sell or take on growth capital in the room before the deal goes to auction.
- Wealth management — retiring advisor → succession-ready operator When an advisor has no succession plan, I connect them to the operator who needs the book of business and the client relationships, not just the AUM.
- SBA lending — seller → SBA-financed buyer When an owner is ready to sell and financing just got easier — SBA's new $10M ceiling — I put a qualified, financed buyer in the room before the listing goes wide.
Building in the open. I’m working alongside myoProcess — a vetted B2B partner trusted across $1B+ in transactions — while I route my first introductions in this lane. My first closed match replaces this paragraph.
