ATV Workshop: The Capital Advantage

Most founders are laser-focused on revenue. But revenue alone won't move your business from an income-producing entity to an asset with real, transferable value.That shift depends on four intangible capital areas: Customer, Human, Structural, and Social. They might be the most important things you're not measuring.Together, we'll break down each component and how to use them to scale faster, attract investment, and exit on your terms.

You'll leave the session able to:

• Identify your intangible capital. Build the vocabulary to talk about your business value with investors, partners, and buyers.
• Define the current situation. Spot operating strengths and growth-limiting gaps impactful now and in exit negotiations.
• Create actionable moves. Implement two high-leverage priorities that build value now.

Parking is included in your ticket fee.

About the Facilitator:

Mitch Skyer, CEPA, MBA, spent 30 years doing the thing many advisors only talk about. He ran businesses. He rose from entry-level sales to senior management at MCI, built and led national sales teams at Cognisa Transportation through its 2006 acquisition, founded Solstice Transportation Group, and then co-founded Passio Technologies in 2010, which was acquired by Transit Technologies LLC in 2020. He wrapped that chapter as President of Faster Asset Solutions.

Three decades. Multiple exits. A value growth mindset. Throughout his career, Mitch has had a front-row seat to the same frustrating pattern: talented founders who built something real, working with advisors who offered generic playbooks and no honest plan to maximize value.

That gap is why he founded AFI Strategic Partners to be the advisor he wished he had. One who leads with honesty, works from a real process, and keeps the focus where it belongs: on the owners goals, timeline, and what a successful outcome looks like for them. His CEPA (Certified Exit Planning Advisor) certification is backed by a BA, an MBA, and instincts that only come from doing it yourself.

He serves as an advisor and board member for small, thriving enterprises, and on multiple non- profit boards with the same clarity and accountability he brings to client work. He and his wife, Lisa, have called Atlanta home for over 30 years. Their three kids are launched and thriving, so a gentlemanly Goldendoodle and his rambunctious Sheepadoodle sister make sure the house is never too quiet.
