The model combines private equity and search fund approaches with local partnerships, community events, and philanthropic opportunities. Earlier in his career, Teddy served as Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer of an investment bank that achieved rapid early growth and processed eight- and nine-figure transactions. He also co-founded a marketplace for unique experiences and built partnerships with established providers. His consulting experience included co-founding a family-business advisory practice within a global consulting firm, where he supported business families, executives, and next-generation leaders across the United States, the Middle East, and New Zealand. Teddy also developed a non-profit and executive coaching center, built several property features himself, and led teams as a general contractor. Since 2017, he has supported Navy SEAL families through a foundation where he serves in an advisory role. He has also helped raise six- and seven-figure sums for charities and has taken part in community dialogue in San Francisco.
