DealTeam partners exclusively with independent sponsors to place hands-on operators (C-Suite and VP-level) into small businesses ($2–10M EBITDA). By narrowing our scope to CEO, President, COO, and commercial leadership roles, we’ve built a deep, repeatable vetting process centered on operational excellence. We don’t operate on the 1/3, 1/3, 1/3 fee structure like every other exec recruiter. Our incentives are 100% aligned with the Independent Sponsor model
