Union

The natural next step

After decades of building networks, we realized our greatest asset was the relationships themselves. Union is how we share that with you.

Our Philosophy

How we think about matchmaking

Quality over quantity

We make fewer introductions, but the ones we make are exceptional. Every connection is personally vetted and thoughtfully matched.

Discretion first

We operate quietly. Your needs, your deals, your relationships stay between us. Trust is the foundation of everything we do.

Long-term alignment

We succeed when our introductions create lasting partnerships. We stay close and measure our success in years, not transactions.

Network as product

Our network is our life's work. Every relationship we've built over decades is available to help you find exactly who you're looking for.

Who We Work With

It starts with trust

We work with people who value relationships as much as we do. Founders, executives, investors, and institutions who understand that the right connection is worth waiting for.

For those who seek

  • Founders looking for the right investors or acquirers
  • Companies searching for exceptional talent
  • Executives exploring their next opportunity
  • Individuals seeking meaningful personal connections

For those who offer

  • Investors seeking proprietary deal flow
  • Advisors and experts with knowledge to share
  • Service providers with exceptional offerings
  • Anyone with something valuable to contribute

Let's talk about who
you're looking for.

Every great partnership starts with a conversation. Tell us what you're seeking, and we'll see if we can help.
