Why CDM

CDM Strategic Ventures operates in situations where scale, discretion, and execution quality matter more than process or publicity. Our work is concentrated in large, off-market private capital transactions requiring trusted counterparties, negotiated outcomes, and institutional-grade judgment.

Built for Large, Concentrated Transactions

CDM is designed for transactions where size itself shapes the process. Typical engagements involve single-buyer or tightly aligned counterparties, negotiated economics, and low tolerance for execution risk. We do not operate in environments where transactions are fragmented, widely marketed, or driven by volume.

Off-Market by Design

Many of the situations we advise on are not suitable for auction-style processes. Confidentiality, regulatory sensitivity, timing constraints, or ownership concentration often make broad distribution impractical. CDM structures and executes transactions on a controlled, need-to-know basis.

Aligned on Both Sides of the Table

CDM advises both capital providers and existing holders in complex private-market situations. This dual perspective informs how transactions are structured, priced, and executed, particularly where liquidity, governance, or long-term ownership considerations are involved.

Advisor, Not Intermediary

CDM acts as a strategic advisor rather than a transaction intermediary. Our role is to support diligence coordination, structuring decisions, and counterparty alignment through closing, without running broad processes or manufacturing deal flow.

Highly Selective by Necessity

Engagements are limited by design. CDM prioritizes depth of execution, alignment with counterparties, and transaction integrity over volume. This selectivity allows us to remain focused, discreet, and responsive in complex situations.
