“Aside from posting on Twitter, what exactly do you do all day?” 🤔

Great question. My wife asks me that all the time too.

I lead a boutique advisory firm called EV Partners. Our team helps business leaders, entrepreneurs, and investors grow their businesses and create shareholder value, through:

• M&A and capital markets advisory
• Fractional CFO services
• Restructuring advisory
• Strategy consulting

We are privileged to serve clients across the worlds of:

• Startups (venture-backed and bootstrapped alike)
• SMBs and lower midmarket companies
• PE and VC fund general partners

For a small number of CEOs, founders, and investors, I also serve as an executive coach. And, most importantly, I founded $20 Consulting (aka the Temu version of McKinsey).

Investments 🚀

I’m an active investor in numerous small businesses and early-stage technology startups. Some of the companies I’m most excited about right now include:

• ZeroWheel, a revolutionary fitness product
• UP, a safe and uplifting social-media platform for teens
• Katmai, a transformative virtual office platform

Let’s chat! 🙌

I love getting to meet people, whether it’s to explore investment opportunities, discuss how my firm can support your business, or even just to shoot the breeze. Posting on social media is great, but it’s never a substitute for a real conversation.

The easiest way to get ahold of me is by sending an email to robert@robertmsterling.com. I’m also on LinkedIn (and, of course, Twitter), but my DMs are usually a mess.
