The Owner’s Capital Stack:
Financial • Intellectual • Relational • Social

Presented by Brand AMG, Story on Purpose, and Sage Consulting Group
About the Series
This invitation-only, quarterly breakfast is designed for owners and executives of $10M–$500M companies. Each session unpacks the real-world decisions that create premium outcomes—and how those choices translate into four forms of owner wealth.
- Financial Capital: Cash-flow quality, pricing power, working-capital discipline, capital structure, and liquidity paths that make a company investment-grade—and improve terms.
- Intellectual Capital: Transfer of founder/operator know-how (decision rules, risk and pricing heuristics, market intuition, partner playbooks, governance) so the business isn’t founder-dependent.
- Relational Capital: A professionalized leadership bench, a real board, partner trust—and healthy family alignment and succession.
- Social Capital: Brand and reputation—and the owner’s freedom of time so life isn’t tied solely to the business.
