COrporate & Business Strategy

Strategic Alternatives instilled lasting confidence over a decade long relationship that helped Finger Food grow from 12 to over 200 employees, eventually selling the business to Unity in 2020. Bob’s dedication and ongoing strategy sessions were instrumental in the success of our business.

ACQUISITION ADVISORY

It’s been more than 10 years since our first onsite and we’re still impressed with the depth of knowledge and command of the industry. Rhys’ low pressure approach gave us the confidence we needed to find the right acquisition partner vs taking the first deal that came our way. Strategic Alternatives has been a grounding force on our journey and I recommend them to every new dev team I meet.
— Adam Bromell - Co-Founder, CCO, & Creative Director

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT

I first met Rhys through a mutual connection after founding our company in 2021. Rhys provided guidance and intros that helped us grow our company from a 3 person startup to a studio in the growth stage. Strategic Alternatives advice has evolved with our business needs - they’ve been a rock we can count on in an every changing landscape.
— Cassandra Dracott - CEO & Creative Director

INVESTMENT

We first reached out to SA on a recommendation from System Era. Tim streamlined our pitch which helped us secure funding and intros to publishers. The Strategic Alternatives team is like having an internal BizDev team, who have decades of experience, without the overhead. The advice they have provided us has been priceless.
