We help colleges and universities navigate acquisitions, mergers, partnerships and strategic alliances — advised by people who have run institutions and closed the deals.ELM2 Advisors is a group of highly experienced academicians and merger and partnership practitioners seeking to provide Higher Education Institutions with sound advice as they move through unfamiliar circumstances and transactions. Our wide range of practical experience enables ELM2 Advisors to engage you and your Institution in a relationship different from a typical consultant or investment banker. We are academics and operators, not bankers. ELM2 Advisors principals have long careers as university faculty members and have all been senior administrators, principals and fiduciaries in our respective businesses and academic institutions. We have experienced many of the challenges you are facing and bring our practical learnings to bear on your institution’s behalf.
