What Our Partners Say
Testimonials from founders, executives, and co-investors we've worked with
Trail Cutter Capital didn't just provide capital — they transformed our operations. Their team identified inefficiencies in our supply chain we'd overlooked for years, implemented a new ERP system, and connected us with key customers. Within 18 months, our EBITDA margins improved from 12% to 22%, and we successfully exited to a strategic buyer at a 4.1x multiple.
Their M&A advisory during our acquisition of three regional competitors was invaluable. They managed complex negotiations, uncovered hidden liabilities, and structured earn-outs that protected our interests.
As an early-stage crypto startup, we needed investors who understood the regulatory complexity. Trail Cutter's network included lawyers, compliance experts, and institutional partners who accelerated our path to market.
Their business optimization playbook helped us scale from $8M to $28M in ARR over three years. The KPI frameworks and hiring roadmaps they introduced are still driving our growth today.
Working with Trail Cutter as a co-investor has been exceptional. Their due diligence is thorough, their deal structures are fair, and their post-investment value-add consistently exceeds expectations.
