Only 15% of Family Businesses have a succession plan – KPMG Research
If you’re ready to step back but don’t have the right person to take over, we might be exactly who you’ve been looking for.
Just like you we are entrepreneurs with a proven track record of leadership, growth, and putting people first. We lost our company due to COVID, our personal circumstance prevent its restart and now we seek to buy and grow a single Australian business with strong foundations and long-term potential.
​
​We seek to build upon your legacy.
Built a Great Business — With No Clear Succession Plan?
You’ve Put Everything Into This Business. Now What?
You’ve spent years — maybe decades — building something real. You’ve worn every hat, made the tough calls, worked weekends, and been the first person people call when something goes wrong.
You’ve given everything to make the business what it is today.
But now… you're ready for what’s next.
-
Maybe it’s time for the golf course, the next adventure, or more time with your family
-
Maybe you're ready to explore something new — another venture, a new pace of life
-
Or maybe you’re simply tired from always being “on,” and you know the growth your business deserves requires energy you don’t want to keep spending
And still, you care deeply about what happens next.
You want the business to thrive, the team to stay strong, and your legacy to be respected.
That’s exactly where we come in.
This Is Where We Come In.
We’re Andrew Vild and Wade Tink — experienced business builders and operators. We acquire great businesses from great owners, and carry them forward with integrity, care, and proven execution.
​
We're not private equity. We're not looking to flip. We step into the business, lead from within, and keep your legacy intact — while investing in the team, systems, and culture you’ve built.
​
You didn’t build your business overnight.
We won’t change it overnight either.​
What we offer is simple:
-
A clean, respectful transition
-
A buyer you can trust
-
A team that looks after your people
-
A strategy to take your business to the next level
Our Values

We’ve Done This Before — And We’ve Done It Well
Before launching our acquisition journey, we spent five years building and leading Project Everest Ventures, a globally operating social enterprise incubator.
​
Together, we:
-
Reached $1.1M revenue in our first year
-
Expanded operations to 7 countries
-
Built a team of 130+ employees and leaders
-
Created an accredited leadership development program
-
Achieved industry-leading retention and impact metrics
-
Navigated operational complexity across borders, industries and teams
-
So what happened?
-
​
-
In 2020, COVID brought international travel to a halt — and with over 90% of our revenue tied to cross-border programs, we hung on for 18 months, adapting and innovating where we could. But government restrictions on outbound travel ultimately made continued operations unsustainable.
-
While that chapter closed, the lessons, systems, and relationships we built have become the foundation for everything we’re doing now — and we’re more equipped than ever to grow businesses here in Australia, where we’re focused long-term.
