Longwood Ventures Information

Longwood Ventures is an advisory firm focused on identification and resolution of organizational, structural, and operational concerns for businesses in a wide variety of industries. The foundation of our business is based upon advising in service industries with a current focus in healthcare and environmental services. Our service offerings include: Business structure & infrastructure Business strategy Business development - Mergers, Acquisitions and Divestitures Operational execution M&A intermediary services We don't assume that the specifics of how you're presently doing business (the "plumbing") are a valid end unto themselves. Sometimes, it might seem easier for those within your company to focus on that plumbing, worried about how they're going to navigate it to perform their jobs. And sometimes, a fresh view is helpful - asking not how best to do what you're presently doing, but instead asking whether you should be doing it at all. We're troubleshooters, and we are most valuable in discrete, targeted engagements. We focus on the business ecosystem itself in the areas of your concern, including the organization (e.g. acquisitions, mergers and divestitures), the market, the financial structure, the people, and the operation of the business, and offer a clear-headed outsider's view, one that we're willing to defend.
