Why TSG Advisory

Built on real operating experience.

TSG Advisory grew out of hands-on work building, financing, and scaling technical companies. Businesses change once they're established here too, and we stay close enough to help carry what's next from strategy into execution.

When most people we talked to dismissed us as too early, TSG Advisory embraced our vision and became an invaluable partner in the critical formative stage, when we needed that the most.

One of the biggest factors we looked at when choosing who to work with was integrity and true partnership. TSG Advisory fit the bill.

How the team thinks about this work

Mike Self, Partner

"We're all here trying to get better. It's important to glance at your past but keep your eyes on the future, while appreciating today. The world moves fast, and there isn't time for regret; that's a waste of mental capital, which is our greatest asset. Make decisions, live with them, learn from them, and keep moving."

In This Together
Matt Puopolo, Partner

"Our model, by design, puts us in the foxhole with the companies we work with. Through thick and thin, we're there solving problems together along the path. I like to remind people of my favorite quote: never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed individuals can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."
