I’m Robert Sterling. If you’re reading this, chances are, you got here from Twitter, where I’m best known for finance memes and low-cost consulting.

In 2024, I launched EV Partners‍, a boutique advisory firm focused on M&A and capital markets advisory, fractional CFO services, strategy consulting, and executive coaching.

SMB Deal Review is an extension of that (you might call it the “grown-up version of $20 Consulting”).

I began my career at Koch Industries and Cargill, America’s two largest private companies, where I worked in corporate development and completed ~$10B in successful M&A transactions, startup investments, capital raises, and divestitures.

I have M&A and financial leadership experience in industries as diverse as energy, metals and mining, commodities trading, agriculture, food and beverage, manufacturing, SaaS, e-commerce and DTC, CPG, fintech, professional services, commercial real estate, and proptech.
