Sand Dollar Capital, LLC

Something, something, friends, romans, countrymen... As many of you know, I’ve been working on building something new over the past couple months. Now, I'm excited to share it with you all! Together with an incredible group of mentors and partners I have launched Hevesta Capital to acquire and lead a growing business that is based in the Southwest USA (California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and Texas) and/or accelerating the energy transition, fighting climate change and improving sustainability across the US. Head over to my website www.hevestacapital.com to learn more. After graduating from Stanford University Graduate School of Business and the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability last year I have moved to New Mexico together with my ever-inspiring partner Cristina Parajón. I write this post having just come from Santa Fe where she swore in to the 57th Legislature of New Mexico two days ago. If you know any business owners who are thinking about their next chapter, please reach out!

This year, I gained far more than I could deliver at Harvard Business School's 10th annual Entrepreneurship through Acquisition (EtA) Conference. With panelists Ania Aliev, Adriana Garcia Ceja, and Kel Jackson, along with our moderator, Jason Jackson from Futaleufu Partners, our panel, "Challenges as a first-time CEO: the first 100 days." was overcapacity and got great feedback. Special thanks to Alexandra Andrino, co-chairs, Ben Zheng + Chris Callander, and the whole HBS EtA Club. You always host an insightful, excellent event.

I’m thrilled to announce the launch of Red Shirt Ventures, an investment vehicle designed to acquire and operate one great company. My goal is to find one exceptional, high potential business that can be led to even greater heights. If you know a business owner considering retirement, or looking for a career shift, please let me know! I am immensely grateful for the mentorship and guidance that has enabled me to embark on this new journey. I’m also thrilled to be working with an incredible group of investors, operators, and mentors: Sandro MinaClement LucasXimena Alvarado TrespalaciosDave DodsonJason JacksonSusan Pohlmeyer, CFASamuel SparMichael Aubrey Jeff Smith Jeffrey Smart Richard AugustynTiffany Clay AugustynLawrence J.
