Riverstone Capital & Advisory is a strategic advisory firm led by Managing Partner Asher Weinstein. We specialize in helping companies at critical inflection points — acquisitions, new venture launches, and complex financial structuring — with the analytical rigor and deal experience to execute with confidence.
Our portfolio spans Web3/crypto, AI, fintech, and infrastructure companies — and we bring deep experience across valuation, financial modeling, M&A advisory, and new product structuring to every engagement.
We don't produce off-the-shelf analysis. We build from the ground up — modeling the actual business, stress-testing real assumptions, and sitting alongside you through the transaction process from first number to final close.
Transactions don't fail because of bad ideas. They fail because of weak analysis, poor structuring, or a disconnect between financial reality and strategic ambition.
Riverstone's Corporate & Investor Services practice exists to close that gap. We work with founders, operators, and investors who need rigorous financial modeling, defensible valuations, and hands-on advisory support — whether they're acquiring a business, launching a new financial product, or making a major capital decision.
We build the models, stress-test the assumptions, run the scenarios, and help you understand what the numbers are actually saying — before you commit.
When a company is being bought or sold, valuation is rarely a single number. It's a story — told through methodology, assumptions, and scenario analysis. We build that story with rigor.
For early-stage and growth-stage businesses, particularly in fintech, crypto, and digital infrastructure, traditional approaches often fall short. These companies lack the earnings history needed to anchor a standard model. Our methodology adapts to the reality of the business.
In practice, this means building multi-scenario valuation models — base, bull, and bear — grounded in the company's actual revenue drivers, existing contracts, and realistic forward projections. We use revenue multiple-based approaches where appropriate, because that reflects how investors in emerging industries actually price risk and growth. We anchor valuations to forward-looking metrics, not trailing performance, and we document every assumption so the output can be defended in a negotiation.
Our valuation work typically covers: multi-methodology valuation, forward revenue projections anchored to real business drivers, bear/base/bull scenario analysis, asset valuations for tangible and intangible components, and a clear written synthesis of what the numbers mean for the transaction.
Valuation answers what is it worth. Financial modeling answers what can it become — and under which conditions. These are different questions, and they require different work.
