AEG provides elite business advisors and midmarket CEOs unprecedented business development and peer-to-peer networking opportunities through an ecosystem of city-based communities. Our advisors in each community span 50 complementary disciplines to help owners of midmarket companies grow their business, exit on their terms, and build personal wealth.
WHAT IS THE ASSOCIATION FOR ENTERPRISE GROWTH?
WHY AEG?
Midmarket companies face increasing speed, complexity and uncertainties that stall growth. Advisor specialization creates silos that hinder coordination to support optimal growth.
AEG’s business model has created a multidisciplinary advisor community to coordinate disciplines and tools to identify personal and business growth opportunities and deliver the right capabilities and capital at the right time to midmarket businesses.
Our mission is to create personal and business growth through trusted relationships.
HOW DOES AEG WORK?
We leverage four keys to growth: specialized advisory capabilities, appropriate capital forms and strategies, connecting businesses to growth resources and building communities to share benefits of growth.
We bring capabilities of 25 complementary disciplines, everything a complex company in an evolving market needs to grow and exit. These include legal, financial, strategy, technology, talent, cyber, sales and more.
We bring expertise in and access to a range of commercial and investment banking and alternative financing options for growing companies, those seeking M&A, and make them bankable.
We regularly connect businesses with each other and to the growth resources they need, as well as bringing together advisors with diverse disciplines to expand their perspective and make new connections.
We build close communities of advisors and business leaders to strengthen the region’s midmarket economy and support that growth with a common vision, including business, personal and charitable activities.
WHAT SERVICES DOES AEG PROVIDE?
Advisory Referrals – AEG advisors serve as ambassadors of personal and business growth. While working with clients, they look for growth opportunities needing specialized expertise or capital and make appropriate referrals, whether from other AEG advisors or elsewhere.
Growth Workshops – AEG regularly conducts workshops for groups of midmarket companies, trade associations and economic development groups to share best practices and identify systemic high-ROI growth opportunities and then refer to the right resources.
CEO Community – AEG strengthens the midmarket business community by hosting exclusive CEO-only Salon Dinners, series of educational seminars on growth topics, value growth workshops and occasional events to introduce business leaders to each other and build community.
CEO Inner Circle – AEG is building an exclusive community of the top CEOs in the DMV. This community is limited to about 1% (about 80) of midmarket company CEOs. Each week, we will host a virtual or in-person event of either national or specific DMV interests.
WHAT GROWTH STAGES DOES AEG SERVE?
Company owners are on both personal and business journeys. The two are tightly coupled.
AEG helps navigate both, from startup to transition and beyond.
Our advisors and business model provide capability, capital, connection and community.
