C5 Partners

C5 Partners is a primary "Strategic Advisor" for founding entrepreneurs and key stakeholders of start-up and early stage companies, and senior management and institutional owners of middle- and large-sized companies. Our name,"C5", alludes to white water rapids, with Class 5 rapids being the most treacherous that are still navigable. The notion is that navigating a company through any significant "transition" stage, is very similar to navigating a small raft through Class 5 rapids. That is, regardless of one's experience, it might be good to have; a sturdy raft, the right set of equipment, life jackets, an experienced team in the raft with you, a map and a guide who has been down those waters before, preferably many times.
