When Dan Gramann co-founded Cultivate Advisors in 2013, he wanted to form an advising team built by owners, for owners. He and his team have now built a business that advises over 1,000 small to mid market businesses every month, overseeing over a billion dollars in client revenue annually. You could say that entrepreneurship is in Dan’s blood. His first job at 14 was as employee #1, working out of his parent’s basement, scanning boxes of papers for their courtroom consulting business. He watched them struggle to maintain the financial health of the house. He witnessed his father fight cancer while working the third shift at General Motors and running his own business during the day. His parents instilled in him a strong entrepreneurial drive, a disdain for excuses, and a deep understanding of the challenges and hardships of owning a business. Dan is the co-founder of one of the largest growth & value advising firms in North America, helping business owners to grow, scale and increase their enterprise value of their businesses.
