Amadi Special Situations: Modus Operandi
Amadi steps into special situations with a disciplined, hands-on approach—designed to restore clarity, unlock value, and drive sustainable outcomes for businesses at an inflection point.
Our process unfolds in three structured phases:Structural Realignment
We begin by developing a deep understanding of the market, the business, its internal dynamics, and stakeholder landscape. We focus on identifying the structural barriers to growth and capital readiness.
We help answer...
Are we structured for the next stage of growth or capital?
Diagnose root causes of stagnation or distress
Is our current cap table or team setup blocking progress?
Realign governance, cap tables, and leadership structures
How do we realign stakeholders around a new direction?
Streamline operations and reframe business models for clarity and resilience
Value Engineering
In this phase, we architect a strategic and financial solution that positions the business for renewed growth and investor confidence. This includes defining the investment structure, raising capital (if required), and laying out a detailed post-investment roadmap.
We help answer...
Where is capital being inefficiently deployed? Is more capital needed?
Propose a deal construct, valuation, and capital strategy
Why are margins flat despite top-line growth?
Identify margin expansion opportunities and reduce cash burn
How do we build a leaner, more scalable business?
Improve unit economics and capital efficiency
Turnaround, Scale & Exit

We help answer...
How do we rebuild traction and momentum—fast?
Drive execution of organic and inorganic growth strategies
Do we pivot, scale etc. – how do we decide?
Lead pivots, restructures, or operational turnarounds as needed
