- A residency at Sleeping Giant Capital, which funded the purchase
- Kind
- Services
A Grand Rapids leadership consulting firm, bought in June 2025 alongside an outsourced sales company as the first two pieces of a human capital platform, by the program's own announcement.
What Happened Next
Still held: the program's operating-companies page names her chief executive of both companies, its June 2025 announcement says it launched the platform with the acquisitions of the two, and the company's own about page lists her first on its team.
The exit ends of journeys like this one, where the buyer has announced the purchase itself, are on Buyers.
Method & Source
This record is double-sourced: it joined when the purchase and, where the company has traded on, the exit could both be read in primary accounts rather than inferred.
