We help founders turn vision into venture—and venture into value.

Who We Are

Boxcar Advisors is a strategic advisory and consulting firm purpose-built for founders navigating the complexities of early- and growth-stage startups. Our team has built, scaled, and exited companies across technology, media, and creative industries since the early 2000s—raising capital, unlocking strategic partnerships, and delivering strong returns for both founders and investors.

We founded Boxcar to fill a gap in honest, operator-led guidance. We work with a select group of teams across their startup lifecycle—crafting pitch decks, building financial models, developing go-to-market strategies, facilitating investor connections, supporting term sheet negotiations, and more. From day-one ideation to Series A and beyond, we serve as an experienced partner for the road ahead.

No two startups are alike—but the fundamentals of growth are. We help founders avoid costly missteps, stay aligned with the metrics that matter, and build companies that are scalable, fundable, and ultimately, exit-ready.

We advise companies building the foundational technologies that power smart cities, entertainment districts, and mixed-use spaces—from experience management platforms to building systems (BMS), IoT, connectivity, and cloud-based operations.

Smart Infrastructure & Smart Environments

We support pioneering ventures across AI/ML, synthetic biology, and biotechnology—helping founders navigate complex regulatory paths, technical risk, and capital strategy at the edge of innovation.

Emergent Technologies

From immersive brand experiences to fan activations and large-format digital storytelling, we work with companies merging digital and physical worlds to create connection, discovery, and delight.
