Our Story
The story behind COtingency starts with one of the hardest lessons of all: watching a business fail after a founder’s unexpected exit.
When our founder’s father passed away after a battle with cancer, his successful law firm struggled to survive. There was no contingency plan, no roadmap, no structure for the team to follow. Without a plan, the business’s value plummeted, and years of hard work were lost.
Years later, our founder (a business law expert) faced his own health crisis and realized that his own business wasn’t ready to operate without him. It was a stark reminder that no founder is invincible and that businesses dependent on their leaders are fragile.
These experiences shaped the foundation of COtingency
Our mission is simple: to help founders like you avoid the uncertainty, chaos, and financial loss that come with an exit.
