For teams who do
work that matters.
Sagebrush partners with front-line teams in wildfire, forestry, landscapes, and water.
Specialists who get the mission
Wildfire, forestry, ecosystems, water. Sagebrush only works in a few sectors where the mission matters.
IA. DBH. WUI. LCES. BDA. VIPR. RX. PL3. SBA. 404. SEAT. H-2B. D6. Sagebrush speaks the same language.
Solve Real Problems,
Get Stuff Done
Embedded into operations. Sounding board on one-off calls. On-the-ground insights. Fix processes. Translate strategy to execution. Pass out hats at a trade show. Build a budget. Raise capital. Hand deliver a check to a vendor.
Sagebrush has been there, done that, and ties in as part of the team to get what’s actually needed done, big or small.
Invest or Acquire
(Sometimes)
If it’s the right fit, Sagebrush’s industry experience, operator approach, and transaction execution expertise gives founders a clear path to investment, sale, or leadership transition.
Partner and operator first, if Sagebrush isn’t the right partner, can help explore and prepare for the one that is.
How it works
Every partnership is different. Some last months, some years, some weeks, and some are one phone call. Sagebrush sizes up the problem versus forcing a pre-determined solution. If Sagebrush is not the right fit, I’ll help direct to others who may be.
On the Ground: Short to long-term operational support. Capacity building. Initiative planning and execution. Improving processes. Implementing new systems. Developing teams.
Behind the Scenes: Strategic planning and growth strategy. Financial modeling, analysis, and reporting. Market, customer, employee research. Acquisition sourcing and execution. Capital raising.
On Call: A phone call and a second opinion when you’re working through something . No contract needed, just a straightforward perspective.
At the Table: When (and if) it makes sense, the ability to quickly and clearly explore and pursue an exit or transaction. When Sagebrush isn’t the right partner, help to get ready for the one who is and make the introduction.
