Thesis-aligned operators for
lower-middle market acquisitions

De-risking diligence and founder transitions by aligning the right human capital before close.

Who we are

SectorPoint Advisors is an independent human capital partner to lower-middle market sponsors, including small private equity funds, independent sponsors, and holding company investors.
We align sector-tenured advisor perspectives during diligence and mitigate transition risk at founder exit with key operator placements.

Davis Dardaman, Founder

I founded SectorPoint Advisors to give lower-middle market PE sponsors a flexible, partner-led alternative to traditional search and executive diligence advisory.Before launching the practice, I led over 150+ PE-related engagements across thesis development, due diligence and executive search for platform investments in industrials, business services & healthcare services.

What we do

Deal Advisory

Build conviction faster with thesis-aligned diligence advisors for each investment initiative.For each opportunity, we engage sector-tenured leaders who co-drive commercial and operational diligence, pressure-test the thesis, and strengthen seller credibility.We then synthesize their input into actionable insights for the deal team.Why work with SectorPoint:

  • Founder-led execution. Our Founder leads every engagement end-to-end, from defining the advisor profile to outreach, vetting and synthesis, so you get senior judgment and a single point of accountability.

  • Thesis-aligned shortlists in under a week. We move quickly to put 2-4 highly relevant advisors in front of your team, without sacrificing sector fit or relevance to the deal thesis.

  • Operators with real, sector-matched wins. We focus on executives who’ve already solved the commercial, operational and strategic problems that matter most for your investment case.

Operator Search (CEO/COO/President)

Solve succession before you close.We don’t forward résumés. For each mandate, we identify and engage high-potential leaders who earn founder trust, shape the value-creation plan, and can step into the #1 seat.The search typically begins during diligence to have the operator aligned before close.Why work with SectorPoint:

  • Targeted leadership slate in 3-4 weeks. A dynamic search process that calibrates in real time as diligence shapes the plan, producing CEO/COO or President finalists aligned to the thesis, value-creation priorities, and hold period.

  • Proven operators in your model. Candidates have hands-on experience driving the specific growth, operational and M&A outcomes you are underwriting, not just generic “C-suite” titles.

  • Designed for founder transitions. We prioritize leaders who build trust quickly with founders and management teams, and we use flexible, success-only economics (with an optional roll-in) to stay aligned through close and handoff.
