The Agile
Family Office for Entrepreneurs & Innovators

When I was 28, after selling two businesses, I was turned down by one of the best-known Wall Street firms because I didn’t meet their minimum. That inspired the creation of Cresset Catalyst—a platform designed to support founders earlier in their journeys—working to help achieve milestones and maximize liquidity events.
