The partnership model

An equity partnership built
for the handoff decade.

You spent a lifetime building it. The last thing you need is another consulting bill. CyberGen comes in as an equity partner — we fund the modernization, you keep your capital, and we both win when your business sells at the multiple it should.

Why owners hesitate

Most modernization plans die the same way.

Cash drag.

Six-figure consulting bills that hit P&L the year you're trying to peak EBITDA for a sale.

Consultant fatigue.

Decks, frameworks, and a team that disappears the moment the invoice is paid.

No skin in the game.

Advisors get paid whether the multiple moves or not. Incentives quietly point the wrong way.

How the equity works

Plain-English terms.
Aligned from day one.

No mystery, no boiler-plate gotchas. Here's the shape of the partnership before we ever sit down with lawyers.

Illustrative structure. Actual terms are negotiated per engagement and documented in a definitive agreement.

  • Minority equity stake — you remain in control.
  • Valuation set transparently at engagement, with an independent baseline.
  • Stake vests against milestones tied to value creation, not time-on-clock.
  • No personal guarantees, no debt against the business.
  • Board observer seat, not a control seat.
  • Aligned exit: we win when your multiple lifts and the sale closes.
