01

Vincent Possehl
Evvolve & Partners

$15K
first deal, four days after starting
$7M
backend on a single $250M transaction
8 figures
firm built from scratch
5 weeks
to multiple six figures upfront
When Vincent started he had no advisory firm and no track record. He installed the system exactly as it is built: the four tenets, the validation loop, the outbound stack. His first deal landed four days in, a $15,000 upfront fee, and by his second week he was booking ten meetings a day off the same outbound.
He compounded that into multiple six figures upfront inside his first five weeks. Within months he earned his first backend fee, roughly $7M gross, on a single $250M transaction, the kind of mandate most operators in his niche never touch.
That became Evvolve & Partners, the capital-advisory firm he now runs out of Dubai with a full team. He has closed hundreds of millions in deal flow and built the practice to eight figures. He is the clearest example of what the system does when it is run for years rather than weeks: it compounds from a single operator into an institutional advisory business.
02

Jamil Velji
Regalis Capital

< 90 days
to his first six figures
$4.5M
to close out 2025
$100M
exit being packaged for 2027 (in progress)
Jamil came in with no firm and built Regalis Capital from inception: a done-for-you, lower-market buy-side M&A practice. He ran the inbound and outbound exactly as installed, cheap calls at brutal volume, and closed his first six figures in under ninety days.
He kept running the algorithm and closed out 2025 at $4.5M. Pushing close to a $100K month on inbound alone, he turned a single operator into a real advisory business with repeatable deal flow.
We are now on the fourth and final step of the system with him: packaging the entire business for a $100M exit targeted in 2027, a forward figure in progress, that Kadenwood Group is positioned to broker. From inception to an institution being readied for sale.
03

Bernardo Mendes de Almeida
Avalanche Capital · Fundraisr AI
$40K
closed across three deals in month one
$150K
closed in his first five weeks
$2B+
being raised today (in progress)
17–18
full-time team
Bernardo came in running a growth-partner agency at $50K to $70K a month, with a second private-capital-advisory offer he was struggling to ramp. One call changed how he charged: off retainers, onto large upfront setup fees, repositioned up-market where the buyers pay six figures or more per engagement.
Inside his first month he had closed $40,000 across three deals with a pipeline pointing higher. By week five that was $150,000 collected, which he called a hundred-x return on his initial investment. He set out to scale it to eight figures.
Two years of running the protocol later, he runs Avalanche Capital, a 17 to 18 person private capital advisory firm raising over $2 billion, a forward figure in progress, and is building Fundraisr AI on top of it. The clearest proof the system compounds: a one-man operator turned into an institutional advisory business.
04

Brendan Choi La Rosa
Ciaan
$200M
Canadian real estate raise
$6M
earned on one transaction
4 months
from start to close
$50K/wk
in engagement fees today
Brendan came in as a closer-of-closers stuck at roughly $25K a month, strong on the phone but with no way to charge for it that scaled. He started with us in 2024 and went straight at real-estate capital, the highest-stakes mandates in the niche.
Within four months he assembled a single transaction that earned him $6M gross, on the back of a $200M Canadian real-estate raise. One deal, four months in, larger than most operators close in a career.
He has built out his own firm since and now runs $50K a week in engagement fees, charging upfront for the access and structuring he used to give away on commission alone. Proof the model turns raw sales ability into a durable advisory practice.
05

Riccardo Ricci
Ricci Capital Partners

8 figures
prior solar exit
4 products
debt-advisory firm built from zero
Billions
transacted since launch
Riccardo arrived as a proven operator, not a beginner: he had already exited his solar company for eight figures. What he did not have was a way to take that capability into finance. He came to us to build a debt-advisory firm from the ground up.
We stood up the offer, the positioning, and the outbound around four products: bridge loans, acquisition financing, purchase-order financing, and business lines of credit. Each one points at capital-rich counterparties where a single placement is worth six figures or more.
Since launch he and his team have closed billions of dollars in transactions through Ricci Capital Partners. An experienced operator who used the same framework a beginner runs to stand up an entirely new firm in an entirely new market.
06

Aryan Mahajan
Gerra
$35K+
first enterprise engagements
$100K+
typical engagement today
BCG · Coca-Cola · BMW
his enterprise clients
Aryan started low, selling AI solutions to agencies on small tickets. The system moved him up-market: he repositioned the same skill against capital-rich buyers and closed $35K+ AI engagements with enterprise clients including BCG, Coca-Cola, and BMW. They are his clients, won on the protocol, not former employers.
He then repositioned a second time, off services and into proprietary data infrastructure, helping quant funds, AI labs, and robotics companies originate, license, and develop unique datasets. The same offer-identification loop, pointed at a market almost no one was serving.
Today his engagements regularly exceed $100K across market intelligence, enterprise data, code repositories, and physical-AI data collection. Two clean repositionings on the same framework, each one a step up in ticket and defensibility.
07

Arman Shaz
GLP-1 compounding pharmacy
$5M
revenue in year one
$150–200K/mo
net profit on autopilot
$1B
valuation target (in progress)
Arman came out of marketing with no finance background and built a GLP-1 compounding pharmacy on the system. He ran the same algorithm a deal advisor runs, pointed at clinics instead of capital, and hit $5M in revenue in his first year.
It now throws off $150K to $200K a month in net profit largely on autopilot, driven by B2B clinic sales running on proprietary software he built. A real operating business, not a service practice, built on the same offer and distribution playbook.
We are now packaging the whole operation for a vertical-integration play toward a $1B valuation, a forward target in progress: running the capital raise, the relocation to San Francisco for AI and robotics talent, and the investor introductions in parallel. The strongest proof the model works far outside finance.
08

Matis Clouet
The Ecosystem

From scratch
no prior high-ticket background
€300K/mo
B2B consulting engagements
PE + capital
next market he is moving into
Matis came in with no background in high-ticket consulting and nothing to leverage but willingness to run the system. We trained him from scratch on the full stack: offer identification, positioning, distribution, and the two-call sales structure.
Today he runs The Ecosystem, selling B2B consulting engagements on the French market at roughly €300K a month. A pure from-zero build, with no industry, no case studies, and no references to start from.
With the consulting engine running, he is now moving up the ladder into private equity and capital-markets opportunities, the same progression the protocol is designed to produce: prove distribution first, then climb into higher-value mandates.
Individual results shown. Not typical, and not a guarantee of future outcomes.
