ABOUT AUDACITY SEAFOOD IB
Audacity is a principled, family-owned exit investment bank and transformative consulting firm that exclusively serves entrepreneur-owned-and-operated seafood businesses.
We lead at the intersection of investment banking and strategy consulting, delivering exceptional investment banking services, integrated with full business lifecycle consulting services that are sophisticated, super lean, and razor focused on ultimately delivering extraordinary first-time business exit outcomes.
Award-Winning Firm,
Serving the Best and Brightest
We exclusively serve founder-owned businesses, focused on selling seafood companies in the $20 to $200+ million potential first-time exit transaction value range.
We are not a buyer, but rather an aggressive, creative champion for our clients, crafting and driving highly successful competitive auctions with buyers. We concentrate on a singular end goal – delivering extraordinary first-time business exit outcomes, above and beyond what can be achieved by selling your company without us.
We are very selective about the clients that we choose to represent – we specialize in selling founder companies to sophisticated U.S. private equity buyers and we have relationships with many of the 3,000+ U.S. buyout private equity firms that focus on our target client profiles.
We also sell to major strategic buyers including large public companies and private companies that are backed by financial sponsors with deep pockets that drive post-transaction growth.

Innovative, Long-Value Exit Services
We are a full-service firm, providing white glove service from transaction start to finish. We are known for our highly-successful, targeted competitive auction processes that help ensure that our clients achieve a maximum exit outcome and best deal terms.
Unlike other firms, we are super lean, hands-on, and are U.S. leading in our size-to-staff class. We earned the honor of being selected as U.S. Private Equity Investment Bank of the Year within the Seafood Industry by the M&A Advisor, beating out 500+ other U.S. investment banks in our transaction size class.
Also unlike traditional investment banks, we serve as long-term builders and co-operators that excel at working alongside our founder clients as daily “in-the-trenches” strategic partners. We offer a proven, proprietary long-tail integration approach to building and transforming businesses before they are sold in a first-time exit.
And when the time comes for an exit, we act as a relentless, 100% independent champion, award-winning advisor – an exclusive sell-side broker/dealer to drive an exceptional valuation outcome.
We enable clients to strategically reap and monetize the substantial future value upside that they deserve, sooner rather than later, above and beyond what may have been realized by hiring an institutional investment bank.
100% Independent,
Creative, Dynamic, and Aggressive
We are 100% independent – not affiliated with any private equity firms or an outside broker/dealer.
Full independence enables us to be very creative and dynamic in helping you strategically grow your business, and to be very aggressive in representing you upon exit.
We also have deep expertise in selling founder companies to private equity firms and other sophisticated buyers.
Driven to Make an Impact
Our mission is to transform the lives of our clients and the companies that they serve by delivering superior exit results. But that is just the start.
We are committed to supporting social progress by offering pro bono consulting services to charitable organizations on a select basis.
We are also planning for the future establishment and launch of a foundation, the Audacity Foundation. We believe that the unconstrained spirit drives global entrepreneurship, positive change, and social progress.
Our mandate is resilience – supporting and enhancing the physical and emotional wellbeing of youth to help them develop into resilient future leaders, regardless of socioeconomic or family origin. In addition to learning about what we do, learn about what drives us.
