Background

About Shane Stevenson

I am a corporate finance professional and strategic advisor with 25+ years of experience helping founders, boards, and investors build, fund, and grow resilient businesses. My work spans capital markets, mergers and acquisitions, early-stage structuring, and operational turnarounds—across sectors like digital commerce, infrastructure, agriculture, and sustainability. My background includes leadership roles at national law firms and in-house counsel at one of Canada’s largest energy companies. I’ve advised on IPOs, financings, joint ventures, and major liquidity events—supporting companies listed on the TSX, NYSE, and TSX-V. Over time, I transitioned from legal practice into entrepreneurship and consulting, applying that same rigor to building and scaling ventures. I have co-founded and led businesses in direct-to-consumer (D2C), agri-industrial processing, and environmental services—regularly dealing with complex government regulatory frameworks (including CFIA, AEPA, and provincial permitting regimes). I also support digital-first companies through growth strategy, investor readiness, and operational restructuring. My focus areas include: Startup and venture structuring for early growth Capital raising, exits, and M&A strategy Regulatory compliance and stakeholder management Business turnarounds and strategic realignment Today, I advise companies across Canada and internationally that are growing, restructuring, or facing critical inflection points. I bring deep experience, candid insight, and a bias for action—particularly in complex, regulated, or high-stakes environments. If you’re navigating: M&A or strategic exits Growth capital or startup structure Governance, compliance, or regulatory strategy Cross-sector operations or stakeholder complexity … I can help.
