About
Built for theconversationbefore theprocess starts
We work with a select number of clients at a time: founders, boards and investors in media, technology and consumer markets.
No Institutional Conflicts
Independent advice with no competing mandates or product obligations.
Direct Access
Every engagement is run by senior leaders from first conversation through close.
Built to Move
The ability to turn around materials and analysis quickly when timing is critical.
Selective by Design
Fewer clients at any given time means every engagement gets the senior attention it deserves.

Senior experience,
nimble by design
We're a focused team of senior leaders with decades of combined M&A experience, working with founders, boards, and investors across media, technology, consumer, and lifestyle markets. We built Core Advisors because we believed there was a better way to deliver this kind of advice: unbiased, aligned with your interests, and free of the hierarchy and distraction that come with a larger institution.
