Our Mission
Salt Mines Advisors was developed by an entrepreneurial veteran to help startup founders, employees, and investors create positive financial returns while mitigating their financial risk.
Our Approach
Our past experience starting, running and exiting our own companies has given us the first hand knowledge of what founders go through. We understand the struggle and the elation of taking the unconventional path and are equipped to expertly guide our clients to informed financial decision making with contextual business insights.
Making and losing our own money over the course of many years and many ventures gives us financial wisdom to lend our clients who are walking through tough decisions with no tangible idea of what the future could hold.
Bringing it all together, our professional financial acumen and licensing gives us the transactional ability to help our clients move on good advice. The combination of insights, wisdom and ability helps our client mitigate risk and increase the opportunity for building wealth, bringing unconventional advice to an unconventional client.
