We don't just sell companies. We make them worth selling.
Most founders build a company. We help you build a $100M+ one — then get you the baller exit to match. One firm across the whole journey: we help grow the value - deliberately. And then we sell it. The banker who understands your growth work is the same one who runs your deal.

Three capabilities. One relationship. Zero handoffs.
Value Creation
Worth more, deliberately.
This is where the real money is made — before the deal, not during it. Our Five Transformations™ is the operating system that takes a company to $100M+. This includes the systems, the team, and the growth that move your multiple, not just your revenue. And because we run deals too, we build the value buyers actually pay for.
M&A Advisory
You only sell once. Make it a baller exit.
When it's time, you want the banker who already knows your business cold. We run a disciplined, competitive process that gets you the number and the terms you earned — with an 85% success rate against a 20–30% industry average. No first offer, no regrets.
Valuation
Know the number before it matters.
4,000+ valuations completed means we know exactly what drives your worth — and what's dragging it down. It's the honest baseline every smart growth plan and every strong exit starts from. Not a binder on a shelf. A map to a bigger number.
The banker in the value-creation room.
Most founders run a relay of disconnected vendors — a consultant to grow, a wealth manager to “plan,” a broker to sell. Nobody's holding the whole picture. We are.
Here's what a relay of vendors structurally can't do: let live M&A market intelligence shape the growth work you're doing right now.
We can. Because it's one continuous relationship. The same firm that values your company builds its value — and the same team that built it runs your exit. When we tell you where to invest for the next three years, it's informed by what buyers are actually paying today, not a textbook.
That's the whole game: valuation tells you where you stand, value creation moves you where buyers pay a premium, and M&A captures it. One partner. One throughline. One number that keeps going up.
We're not another wealth manager with an exit-planning badge. We move the valuation. We don't hand you a binder.
We don't just sell companies. We make them worth selling.
A passion for founders — from someone who's been on your side of the table.
Founded in 2011, Quantive is veteran-owned and founder-led. With 25 years as a banker, Dan Doran founded Quantive after being tired of watching great operators leave millions on the table because nobody helped them build value before the sale — and then handed them a mediocre deal at the finish line.
So he built the firm he wished those founders had. One that treats your company like the life's work it is: worth more, deliberately, and sold like it matters. Because you only sell once.
That's the whole reason we exist.
