The structure, one line
“I take 0 base. I keep 50% of every dollar of gross profit uplift you generate above your current baseline, for 12 months. After that, every dollar is yours.”
Headline
For every $1 of Supermax Investment in Year 1, you keep $— over 5 years.
Uses your revenue, expenses, and valuation multiple from above. Post-engagement growth held flat at 5% as the conservative floor — multiple expansion not claimed.

What this math deliberately understates
- Multiple expansion. Founder-dependent financial services firms trade at ~2× GP. A firm that runs without the founder trades at 3–5×. Any expansion is upside not claimed here.
- Post-engagement growth above 5%. Most rebuilt financial services firms grow 10–20% in the years after a successful engagement. 5% is the defensible floor.
- Y1 uplift could exceed 20%. Some engagements clear 30–40% in Year 1. Tim earns more, the founder earns more, ROI stretches well past the headline.
These numbers are an indication only. The Lea Capital partnership is built to actually unlock this profit — diagnosis, plan, senior hire, and a team trained to run without you.
