Why Triwell Partners

Built by advisors who were tired of watching good businesses get bad outcomes.

FinanceSales andrelationshipsAI andtechnologyMichael McCauleyCole ThompsonMark HyunTriwell

Triwell grew out of work inside owner-operated companies, implementing AI and providing fractional CFO services. Those relationships led us to open a search arm that finds platforms and add-ons for private equity firms.

Three disciplines, one firm.

Each founder brings one discipline: Michael brings finance, Cole brings sales and relationships, and Mark brings AI and technology. Together, we understand how a company runs day to day and what each side needs from a deal.

A great deal begins with a deep well.

The name Triwell represents more than the three founders. It represents the well we’ve spent years building: our network, our market knowledge, and our relationships.

The right buyer is rarely found by chance. It takes research before the first call, and a deep well to draw from.
