Heron Equities

Two Wings. One Purpose. We Build for Good. HeronEQ is a two-winged firm blending strategic consulting and long-term capital to help businesses grow with structure, soul, and sustained traction. We were founded by the original team behind Alpaca Audiology, which scaled from a modest startup into the largest independent audiology clinic group in the U.S., acquired by Sonova Holding AG. We’ve built from the ground up—and now we partner with others to do the same. --- HeronEQ Consulting We embed with PE-backed platforms, multi-site operators, and founder-led businesses to drive clarity and alignment where it matters most. What we focus on: - Same Store Growth Systems (HeronEQuilibrium™) - Culture Activation (Who’s Coming to Coffee?™) - EBITDA-Focused Execution - Data-Driven KPIs & Budgeting Tools - Growth Summits & Leadership Retreats Whether we’re aligning teams, building better KPIs, or unlocking site-level traction, we turn meaningful insight into focused execution. --- HeronEQ Capital Our capital wing invests directly in companies from startup to $5M in EBITDA. We specialize in: - Multi-Site Ancillary Healthcare - PE / VC-Backed Companies (in growth mode) - Founder-Led Businesses (with purpose) - The HERON System™ We bring more than capital. We bring operator empathy, creative systems, and a long view. Our model is built for businesses that want to grow without losing what makes them great. --- With our people-first systems, we don’t chase short-term wins at the cost of long-term health. We operate with purpose, and we build to last. Let’s build something together.
