Dear Business Owner,
I founded Spica Capital with one goal in mind – to acquire and operate one great American company.
In my ~15-year professional career in finance and strategy, I advised businesses of all sizes – from global Fortune 500 companies to small mom & pop shops. What I learned from that experience is that there is no greater privilege than working with and learning from entrepreneurs and founders.
Having grown up in a family of an entrepreneur, I have deep appreciation for the amount of courage, sacrifice and relentless hard work it takes to build a business.
At the age of 21, I took on a venture of my own, leaving my hometown in Eastern Siberia and immigrating to the United States, to pursue my American Dream. Building a career from scratch in a foreign country with little English and no connections was an extremely humbling experience, which taught me real hustle, perseverance and the importance of a long term vision.
Aspired to manage a business one day, like my mother, I’ve dedicated the last ~5 years to working with small businesses as an investor and M&A advisor. Getting an inside look into the fast-paced yet rewarding life of a business founder inspired me to leave career in finance and become an operator, following my passion for leading teams and building a long-lasting legacy.
Selling your business is one of the biggest decisions you will ever make, and I know firsthand the many aspects and challenges of getting that decision right.
Let's connect to see if I can be the right partner for you.
Sincerely,
Ada
