Where purpose meets performance.
fide helps leaders bring clarity, control, and compounding strength to their organizations — fixing what’s stuck and building what endures.
Founded by the entrepreneur behind Dream Drop Lights — a small venture that scaled nationally — Fide now brings that same builder’s discipline to help companies grow, streamline, and execute through fractional leadership and hands-on consulting.
Who We Work With
Fractional Leadership
We back people, not just projects. Often we are our own client.
Every investment, partnership, or product we create starts with the right person at the core. From local entrepreneurs to overlooked talent, we combine capital, expertise, and trust to turn purpose into results—building ventures that last and companies that matter with passive returns.
Strategic Consulting
Targeted, data-driven engagements that turn complexity into clarity. We diagnose what’s holding you back — and design actionable plans that move you forward.
Operational Transformation
Structure. Process. Accountability. We rebuild the engine that drives results, creating scalable systems that perform even when you’re not in the room.
fide capital
Purpose without performance is noise. Performance without purpose burns out. Fide aligns both — transforming intent into measurable outcomes.
A guy with a unique name that hands out cards.

Hello (possibly again?)
My name is Dan and this is fide.
Fide works with people and companies built to last — those who value character, clarity, and compounding results.
You may have gotten here because I gave you a card. I am glad you found us. Welcome!
At fide, real relationships drive every decision; the lines between partner, advisor, and friend are meant to be bridges. I want to be your partner in business and to find investment opportunities for you, investors, and myself. I will maximize what you do, whether growing your top line or decreasing overhead costs.
We invest in people with purpose, backing founders and businesses that want to turn insight into legacy, community, and lasting returns. We seek consistent predictable partnerships for our investors. Your business does not have to have *sparkle*. It just needs to make sense.
Whether you’re seeking guidance, a partner/exit in an established “boring business”, or a home for your next dream, Fide is where opportunity and stewardship come together.
How Fide Creates Value
Strategic Acquisition Focus
-
Target Profile: We acquire established service-based businesses with $1–3M EV, focusing on companies with predictable revenue streams and growth potential.
- Disciplined Approach: We acquire established service-based businesses with $1–3M EV, focusing on companies with predictable revenue streams and growth potential. Our process begins with relationships — understanding each business deeply, building trust with owners, and offering strategic guidance. Through these partnerships, we often unlock recurring cost savings and operational improvements that act like passive returns for owners and investors alike. When the fit is right, we deploy our own capital to acquire or invest, scaling businesses with both financial discipline and long-term vision.
