TRUEHELM is a strategic growth partner for start-ups and businesses with revenues between $500K-$20M. We specialize in helping owners liberate themselves from daily operational chaos and evolve their companies into scalable, self-sustaining enterprises. Whether you're preparing for succession, seeking growth without burnout, or simply want to regain strategic clarity, we meet you where you are and scale you where you want to go.

We believe your business is a vehicle to your calling.

We’re passionate about helping founders unlock the full potential of their business, not just to achieve financial success, but to gain the freedom to live the life they’ve envisioned. We bring our experience, time, and heart, not to extract value, but to multiply it alongside you.

You deserve a thoughtful partner who honours what you’ve built and helps you grow without compromising what matters most. Grounded in stewardship, integrity, and servant leadership shaped by a Christian worldview, we see business as a platform to serve others and create lasting impact.

How we partner

TRUEHELM provides two distinct engagement models.

  • 1
    Partner for Prosperity

    A relationship with real skin in the game. We don’t just consult—we partner. Rather than offering advice from the sidelines, we invest both capital and capability into your business. That means bringing strategic horsepower, proven operational frameworks, and leadership development tools—all in exchange for a minority equity stake.

    This model ensures both sides have skin in the game. When we’re invested together, we’re committed to building long-term prosperity—side by side.

    Coaching & Advisory (No Equity)

    For owners not ready to give up equity but still seeking clarity and momentum, TRUEHELM offers structured, high-level coaching focused on leadership, operations, and profitability billed monthly or quarterly. 

    This model gives founders the tools, perspective, and accountability to lead with confidence — without giving up equity.
