Why strategic evaluation?
Many businesses grow on the back of a great product, founder instinct, momentum, or market timing - but beneath the surface, they often lack clarity on what’s truly driving performance, where value is being created (or lost), and which risks would unravel under serious scrutiny.
Strategic evaluation bridges that gap. It’s the difference between running a business that works - and building one that lasts.
For companies pursuing scale, operating leverage, and a sustainable competitive advantage, it’s the first step toward meaningful transformation.

What Coach House Brings
At Coach House Consulting, we offer a level of strategic and financial evaluation that’s rarely accessible to private or founder-led businesses. With experience reviewing more than 1,000 companies across sectors, we apply the same lens used to allocate billions in institutional capital - but in service of your business, not an investment committee.
You get the benefit of deep pattern recognition, sharp external challenge, and a clear understanding of how your business would perform under serious investor scrutiny - without needing to give up equity or control to access that perspective.

You Get:
-
Investor-grade clarity on what’s working, what isn’t, and what’s invisible from the inside - without giving up equity to get it.

Unfiltered challenge without agenda - no equity, no bias, no internal politics.
-
Pattern recognition at scale - drawn from more than 1,000 real-world company evaluations.
-
A strategic partner, not a service provider - clear thinking, sharp insight, and no slide decks for the sake of it.
The Coach House Diagnostic™
We help founders and leadership teams gain investor-grade insight into their business - whether they’re scaling, raising capital, preparing for exit, or realigning strategy.
Our work brings the clarity, challenge, and perspective that only comes from seeing your business through the eyes of an experienced investor.
“You’ll go through the same painstaking process I’ve put hundreds of companies through around the world before deciding whether to invest - but this time, I take you behind the curtain.
I show you exactly what a top-tier investor and strategist sees when you present your product, your market, your financials, and your business model. What the scale of the opportunity really is. The questions that will shape your future. And the things that would keep me up at night.
It’s not always comfortable. But the uncomfortable questions are usually the ones worth answering.”
