Operating partners for founders
Build it. Grow it.Sell it well.
We help founders find their channels
Restore Point Digital owns and operates a portfolio of digital businesses and joins a few startups at a time as a hands-on growth partner. Founders pitch us. We choose about 1 in 20, then rebuild the engine, tighten the numbers, and get the company ready for a buyer.
- ●OperatorsWe do the work. No slide decks handed over the fence.
- ▲AlignedFees, equity, or both. We win when the exit does.
- ■Exit-mindedEvery change is judged by one test: does a buyer pay for it?
Approach
What we actually do
Growth that shows up in the numbers a buyer reads. Six areas. All hands-on.
Search that compounds
Organic and local SEO that brings in customers month after month, long after the work is done. When paid media makes sense, we bring in a trusted agency partner.
Ecommerce and product feeds
Shopify, Google Merchant Center, Meta, and TikTok Shop. Clean catalogs sell more and break less.
Conversion and retention
Site, checkout, email, and lifecycle. Small lifts on every step add up to a different business.
Systems and reporting
One source of truth for revenue, margin, and cohorts. If you can't measure it, a buyer won't pay for it.
Positioning and brand
A clear story for customers today and acquirers tomorrow. Same story, two audiences.
Exit preparation
Clean books, documented processes, and an owner who can step away. That is what earns a premium.
Process
How a partnership works
Four restore points. Each one is a version of the company that is worth more than the last.

Fit
What we look for
We work inside four to six startups at a time. Here is where we do our best work.
Real revenue
Customers are paying today. We help businesses grow, not find a reason to exist.
Digital at the core
Ecommerce, DTC brands, SaaS, and online services where marketing and systems drive value.
A founder who wants out, eventually
You are open to a sale in the next few years and want it to be a good one.
Room to grow
Under-built channels, a leaky funnel, or messy operations. The bigger the gap, the bigger the upside.
Why us
Why founders work with us
Most advisors tell you what to do. We do it with you.
- 01
We have built the plumbing
Years of hands-on work for national and international brands, on everything from Shopify and WooCommerce to Salesforce Commerce Cloud, Adobe Commerce, and SAP. SEO, local search, product feeds, marketplaces. We know where growth leaks because we have fixed it before.
- 02
Incentives that line up
We structure partnerships around fees, equity, or a mix. When the exit does well, we do well. That keeps everyone honest.
- 03
We own what we operate
We run a portfolio of acquired websites ourselves. We know what buyers check because we have been the buyer.

How we choose
Pitch us. We pick a few.
We review every pitch and join about 1 in 20. Staying that selective is how we give four to six partnerships our full attention.
- 01
Pitch
Send the short version through the form: what the business does, the numbers, and what you need. Add a deck if you have one.
- 02
Review
We read every pitch ourselves and reply within two business days. Yes or no, you will hear from us.
- 03
Meet
If it looks like a fit, we get on a call, dig into the numbers, and ask hard questions. You should ask us some too.
- 04
Join
We agree on terms: fees, equity, or both, with capital when the deal calls for it. Then we get to work.
If this sounds a bit like Shark Tank, it is. Minus the cameras. Our main investment is the work, not a check, though we put capital in when a deal warrants it.

The short version is enough to start. We read every pitch and reply within two business days. If it is not a fit, we will tell you why.
