Start alone
Eighteen to thirty months without income, no positioning on day one, and no distribution. Most people underestimate this by a year.
A build firm for high performers
You spent twenty years building someone else’s asset.
Sixth Strand builds the business, runs the acquisition engine beside you, and hands you the keys. You keep control. We keep a stake to align growth, partnerships and network effects.
Build — 8 weeks
Grow — 6 months
Handover — Yours
There are three ways out. None of them are good.
Buy a business
Seven figures of equity and debt for a company you did not design. Acquisition has become harder, not easier, and the good targets have several buyers.
Take another job
The fastest option, and the reason you are reading this page.
We help you leverage the one asset you already own and no one can fake: experience.
We build the company. You keep the name on the door.
01
Position
We define what the business sells, to whom, at what price, and why you specifically are the person who should sell it. Your domain, your credibility, a commercial infrastructure shaped around it.
02
Build
Entity, contracts, brand, site, pricing, delivery model, CRM, and the acquisition system. 8 weeks. You get an operating company, not a strategy document.
03
Grow
We run outbound, partnerships, and pipeline for and alongside you until the business is producing revenue on its own motion. You handle the clients we’ve onboarded. You are on sales calls from week 1 and stay part of our community to learn, share and grow. We teach you sales, process, retention, and most importantly, AI. That is a condition of the engagement, not a suggestion.
04
Hand over
Accounts, playbooks, relationships, tech, clients, and all IP transfer to you. Sixth Strand steps back to a minority position and stays available to support retention and scale.
The commercial terms.
| Build | $35,000 fixed. 8 weeks. |
|---|---|
| Growth engine | $6,000 per month. 6-month minimum, cancellable at 30 days from month 3. |
| Sixth Strand’s stake | A capped revenue share, plus a minority equity position where the business supports it for ongoing access to community, partnerships, advisory and scalability. Full terms are in the engagement letter, not behind a call. |
| Handover | Included. 60 days of advisory after transfer. |
| Capacity | 4 |
If the Build is not delivered in 8 weeks, the fee is refunded pro rata.
This is the wrong firm for most people.
- Anyone looking for passive income. This business is built to leverage YOU.
- Anyone unwilling to be on sales calls in the first month, mainly because you need to learn the process, your clients and AI which we believe lay the foundation of scaling your business.
- Anyone who wants a business in a field they have no standing in. We build on your existing authority. Without it, the timeline doubles and we would both regret it.
- Anyone who wants to buy their way to certainty. We will show you the method, the terms, provide you the infrastructure, and hold your hand. In fact, we will do most of the foundation and execution, but we will not take on clients who don’t have the drive to become best in their field and stay with us long term.
If you read that list and nothing disqualified you, the next step is an application.
Founder
We spent nearly twenty years building commercial engines and running P&Ls for other people, some from scratch, others inside businesses with billion-dollar market caps. The details are on LinkedIn. We would rather talk about the next twenty years.
We applied the same growth methods used as C-suite operators to the transition from executive to owner, and it worked. That process is now documented, structured and repeatable through Sixth Strand.
Four at a time.
We take on four owners at once because the growth phase is hands-on work, not a subscription. Applications are read personally and answered within 2 business days, whether the answer is yes or no.
