About Acreage Strategic Ventures
Our Mission
At Acreage Strategic Ventures, we help business owners and property holders unlock value through creative, well-structured deals, whether that means acquiring a business, restructuring real estate, or planning a long-term exit through an ESOP. We don't chase every deal that comes across our desk. We look for opportunities where the numbers work, the structure makes sense, and the outcome benefits everyone at the table, not just one side of it.
Our approach is built on decades of hands-on operating experience, not just deal theory. We've led teams, managed complex financial structures, and made high-stakes decisions in real businesses, which means we understand the pressure points our clients are facing because we've faced them ourselves. That experience shapes how we structure every transaction: with discipline, patience, and a clear eye toward what actually holds up under scrutiny.
We're not interested in one-time transactions. We build relationships that last well beyond a single deal, because the best opportunities usually come from people who trust you enough to bring you the next one.
Our Real Estate Services
Acreage Strategic Ventures offers a full range of services built around one goal: helping you structure the right deal, not just any deal.
Creative Real Estate
From single family homes to multifamily properties, we help investors find and structure deals that make sense, including creative financing options like subject-to and seller financing when a traditional purchase doesn't fit the situation.
Business Acquisition
We help buyers identify, evaluate, and acquire established businesses, with a focus on cash-flowing, well-run operations rather than speculative bets. We pressure-test every opportunity before it ever reaches an offer.
Transaction Funding
Access to capital is often the difference between a deal that closes and one that falls apart. We help structure funding solutions that keep transactions moving, whether that means connecting you with the right capital partners or structuring terms directly.
ESOP Transactions
For business owners planning succession, we guide the process of transitioning ownership to employees through an ESOP, balancing your financial goals with the long-term health of the company you built.
Whether you're looking to invest in a single family or multifamily property, acquire a business, or plan your exit strategy, we have the experience and network to get the deal done right.

ESOP Transactions
Turn Your Business Into Your Legacy
For business owners thinking about succession, an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) can be one of the most powerful exit strategies available. It lets you transition ownership on your terms, reward the employees who helped build the business, and often deliver significant tax advantages along the way.
At Acreage Strategic Ventures, we guide owners through every stage of an ESOP transaction, from initial feasibility through closing.
How We Help
Feasibility & Readiness AssessmentWe evaluate whether your business is a strong fit for an ESOP structure, looking at cash flow, valuation, ownership goals, and timeline before you commit to anything.
Transaction StructuringWe help design a structure that balances your financial goals with what makes sense for the company and its future employee owners, including financing, valuation strategy, and governance.
Advisor CoordinationAn ESOP deal requires trustees, valuation experts, and legal counsel working in sync. We help coordinate that process so nothing falls through the cracks and the deal stays on schedule.
Post Transaction SupportThe work doesn't end at closing. We help owners think through the transition period, from leadership succession to building a culture of ownership among employees.
Who This Is For
- Owners considering retirement or stepping back from day to day operations
- Business owners who want to reward long-tenured employees with real ownership
- Companies exploring alternatives to a traditional third party sale
- Owners who want to preserve their company's culture and independence after they exit
Why Work With Us
Our team brings direct operating experience, not just deal experience. We've built and led organizations from the inside, which means we understand both what a seller is walking away from and what a company needs to keep running strong after the transition.
Our Team
Our team brings together decades of real-world operating and deal-making experience, not just theoretical knowledge. We've sat on both sides of high-stakes decisions, managed complex financial structures, and built and led teams through real growth and real pressure. That background shapes how we work: with discipline, patience, and a commitment to getting the details right rather than rushing to close.
We understand creative real estate financing inside and out, from subject-to deals to seller financing structures that open doors traditional lending can't. On the business side, we know how to evaluate an acquisition target, pressure-test the numbers, and structure a deal that protects everyone involved, not just the buyer.
What sets us apart isn't just what we know. It's how we apply it. We take the time to understand your specific goals, whether that's building a real estate portfolio, acquiring your first business, or planning a long-term exit strategy, and we bring the same level of scrutiny to every deal that we'd want applied to our own.
You're not just getting a service provider. You're getting a team that's been in the room where these decisions get made, and knows what it actually takes to see them through.
