I built and sold five companies so far, the last a $300M data and AI platform with a market making exit. I know the climb you're on because I've made it, and I know where it gets steep. Everest is where I put all of it to work for you.
For data and AI services CEOs scaling $10M to $100M.
After five exits, I could have stopped. The reason I didn't is simple. I love watching a founder break through a ceiling that's held them for two years, and a leadership team start to operate at a level they didn't know they had.
I've sat in that seat. I know the weight of it: the quarter that won't close, the team that has to grow faster than they think they can, the calls only you can make. I've also made the wrong hire, run the layoff, and walked from a deal I wanted. I get back in it with founders who are there now. We build the engine together, and I coach the leaders who'll run it. The reflex everyone's selling is to add more AI. On a broken operating system, that just scales the dysfunction. I fix the engine first, then AI compounds it.
None of this was luck. It's a system I built across five climbs, the Summit OS and the Summit Scorecard, and it's what I bring into your firm. I take a small number of firms so the person leading the work is me, every week, until the goal you set is the goal you hit.
I place you by your goals and your revenue stage, then read the eight parts of the business against it: go-to-market, marketing, product, delivery, people, finance, AI, and strategy. Some of those you've already nailed. A few aren't built yet for the next camp, and those are the ones we work on together. The map shows you which is which, by name.
Camp sets the playbook. What unsticks a founder at $12M is the wrong move at $60M, so I match every call to where you actually are.
Here's what all of that means for your climb. The moves that built and sold those firms are the same moves I run inside yours, through the Summit OS and the Scorecard, so what worked for me becomes what works for your team.

They describe the work the same way. Someone in it with them who has made this exact climb before and knows where it gets steep.
"Adam came alongside me as a peer and a partner, coaching me through the process and guiding me past the points of doubt and indecision as we went through a complicated transaction. I won't do this again without him."Chris Kadel, Founder & CEO, Polaris
"Adam and the Everest Team brought new levels of leadership and strategy to growing our AI business. The results have profoundly accelerated our growth and capability."Greg Pierce, Co-Founder & COO, Trofeo
I've coached over a hundred founders across my career. Now I take a handful of firms at a time, so the person leading the work is me, every week. The founders I take on keep me close long after the plan is running.
Thirty minutes, no pitch. You leave with the two or three moves that matter most for your firm, and an honest read on whether I can get you there faster.
