Connecting people and forming lasting relationships.
At Avalon, we believe that the qualities of great athletes are the same qualities that build great companies: discipline, resilience, and a drive to excel. We are sportsmen at heart – trained to handle pressure, navigate challenges, and stay patient until the right moment comes.
This mindset defines how we work with our clients. It shapes our approach to every deal: focused, strategic, and with the endurance to deliver the right outcome. We bring this perspective to advising consumer, media, healthcare, and technology companies – tailoring solutions that combine entrepreneurial thinking with the clarity of competitive performance.
Corporate Finance
We partner with entrepreneurs throughout their founding journey, supporting them with bespoke advisory services around mergers & acquisitions and growth capital, as well as financial analysis, and due diligence to investors and corporations.
We enable to see around corners and capture hidden opportunities within a dynamic market landscape offering candid advice, creative ideas, and best-in-class execution to achieve set goals. We partner with both established and emerging companies and financial sponsors to develop and execute tailored solutions.
Strategic Advisory
Our premise is to provide innovative strategic advice using integrated communication solutions, intelligent content and outstanding business concepts that are relevant to luxury and lifestyle brands as well as more traditional business models.
We use forward-thinking research and strategy to deliver real-world action and results. We help you decide what, where and when to communicate, and tell stories that best express your core messages across different channels and are perfectly targeted toward your audience.
History
Avalon was started by entrepreneurs who spent a decade founding, building and advising businesses. Our foundation of strategic advising is balanced by experience and know-how. It is a combination that allows us to drive significant value for our clients and partners.
