The best businesses emerge when founders can focus on what matters—serving customers, building community, creating value. We remove the infrastructure barriers that kill momentum before you launch.
"The more people who own little businesses of their own, the safer our country will be, and the better off its cities and towns; for the people who have a stake in their country and their community are its best citizens." - John Hancock
I spent years at big law firms doing sophisticated deals—armies of advisors, unlimited resources, complex structures. At 30, cancer forced me to reassess everything. I left to build businesses I actually cared about in my own community.
That's when I learned the truth: the system isn't built for founders. It's built to extract. I had years of deal experience and still got crushed by the grind—permitting delays that killed momentum, legal costs that drained capital, bureaucratic roadblocks that had nothing to do with the quality of the idea.
I watched better businesses than mine fail. Not because they lacked vision or commitment, but because founders spent all their energy fighting systems instead of building. The barrier to entry isn't the idea anymore—it's navigating the infrastructure designed to gatekeep.
LYL Capital exists to remove those barriers. We provide what founders struggle with most: entity formation that's done right the first time, permitting expertise that moves projects forward, capital strategy that opens doors, and deal guidance that comes from years of institutional experience applied to real-world challenges.
If you're committed and the idea serves your community, we'll help you build it.
