Introduction — Special Situations / Turnaround Operator & Independent Sponsor

Hi all — I’m an Independent Sponsor & operator focused on special situations, turnarounds, and underperforming companies in manufacturing, industrials, and product businesses ($5M–$50M revenue). I partner with capital providers to generate superior risk-adjusted returns from distressed or operationally intensive opportunities. Where I create value: • Connect the dots others don’t see — rapid root-cause diagnosis + business model redesign • Cash stabilization & margin rebuild • Supply chain + operations reset • Repositioning into higher-value models • Leadership, culture, and customer reset • Strategic growth relaunch Open to connecting with investors focused on distress, operational value creation, and special situations. Happy to collaborate. — Alan Freeman Acorn Capital Partners | Independent Sponsor & Operator
