Help us take over the world
Let’s be real—the average businessperson out there, with no name recognition and zero social capital, can’t even begin to compete with the dynamic powerhouse that is our organization. These “average Joes” hustle day in and day out, struggling for visibility, relevance, and access to the kinds of opportunities we command effortlessly. They network, they scrape, they grind, hoping for a lucky break or a rare connection. But without the kind of social capital that we wield, they’re playing a different game—one where they’re perpetually chasing from behind.
We, on the other hand, don’t chase—we attract. We’re not knocking on doors, we own the building. Our athletes, with their built-in networks, their unparalleled brand loyalty, and their global reach, are more than just faces—they are icons. They are trusted, they are admired, and they hold the keys to markets, relationships, and influence that the average individual could never dream of accessing.
While others are busy vying for small pieces of the pie, we’re in the kitchen baking our own. Why? Because we have something they never will—instant recognition, social leverage, and the capital to back it all up. In industries where name and trust mean everything, we move with confidence, knowing that our access and influence can’t be matched by someone whose reputation only extends as far as their LinkedIn profile.
Let’s be honest: the so-called competition can’t measure up. They lack the speed, the credibility, and the reach that comes effortlessly to us through our network of professional athletes, high-net-worth individuals, and top-tier business leaders. This isn’t just an advantage—it’s a complete game-changer. In industries where who you know and how fast you can move dictates success, we leave them in the dust. They’re stuck in the grind, while we’re defining the future.

Dumbest Guys in the Room
At Players Capital Group (PCG), we operate by a simple yet powerful principle: We strive to be the poorest and the dumbest guys in any room we’re in. This is no accident—it’s exactly where we want to be. Why? Because success isn’t just about what you know or what you’ve accomplished; it’s about who you surround yourself with. We understand that being in the company of those who are wealthier, smarter, and more experienced pushes us to grow, adapt, and constantly improve.
By deliberately placing ourselves in environments where we’re surrounded by people with more expertise, influence, or resources, we open ourselves up to new ideas, bigger opportunities, and higher standards. It’s about humility and ambition simultaneously—recognizing that there’s always more to learn and that real progress happens when we are surrounded by those who challenge us to do better. Whether it’s a boardroom full of investors, a gathering of industry leaders, or a room brimming with innovative thinkers, we know that growth happens when you’re not the biggest fish in the pond.
This mindset of striving to be in rooms where we are the least experienced or well-resourced ensures that we are constantly evolving. We thrive in those environments, knowing that every interaction sharpens our perspective and strengthens our network, and ultimately positions PCG—and our partners—for greater success.

What Does It Mean?
Who's Your Daddy?
Our Resources
You cannot become a force in any industry until you incur the time and expense of becoming a software company.
We have spent several years developing our electronic platform. Included in it are:
- A state of the art cloud based relational database that manages opportunities over several industries. This system sifts through and standardizes dozens of data sources and is capable of sifting through millions of records in seconds.
- A corporate intranet and engagement platform. This is like a private social media site for our eyes only. Here we share opportunities, best practices and general knowledge. When opportunities present themselves anywhere in the country, everyone else knows it the next day.
- A library of forms, spreadsheets, and instructional materials to shorten your learning curve.
- A website with a purpose. Simultaneously our website tells our compelling story and collects actionable information from multiple sources. If you can drive someone to our website one time, chances are you will be taken very seriously by them from that point on.
- Integrations with LinkedIn, Bloomberg and many other data sources that bring opportunity to our attention.
Our core business is Mergers and Acquisitions, and here’s why: There are trillions (with a T) of dollars looking for a home. We aggressively catalogue the demand for corporate acquisitions from the following sources:
Private Equity
Hedge Funds
Family Offices
Major Corporations
We match that demand with the known supply of all American corporations. When you eliminate the many companies too small for us and the few that are too big, there are still over 800,000 companies in our wheelhouse.
These corporations fall into seventeen industry sectors. Each Sector has many related industries.
When we list a company for sale, we know who wants to buy it:
We know what people want to buy, how much they have, and where they want to spend it.
We are creating relationships with multibillion dollar investment groups on a regular basis. We need sharp people to manage our relationships with them.
It has taken us years to learn our way around this world, but we can shorten your learning curve dramatically.

Business
This network has massive value in and of itself. We have:
- A geographic footprint that extends to every corner of North America. We are living in every state in the USA and every province in Canada. Our digital footprint is just as impressive. Some of us have thousands of followers on social media networks like Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn. And we are members of every major university alumni association in the country.
- A plethora of highly presentable, well educated, well spoken and well traveled high achievers everywhere within this footprint. If you ever performed in any of the major leagues, you have confidence and you can think on your feet. You know how to work a room and you can’t be intimidated. If you can understand an NFL playbook or an NHL system, there is nothing in investment banking or any of our other business models that you cannot easily grasp.
- A huge collective Rolodex of contacts. Not only do we have extensive contacts but we have great influence with those contacts. Business is about relationships, and no one can cultivate them better than us.
Here is one example of the unique utility of our network: www.playerscapital.net/rapid.
Our power is in our ability to connect supply and demand over a broad range of industries very quickly anywhere in North America. There are things we can accomplish with incredible efficiency that are simply impossible for any other entity to do.
If a corporation tried to build out a network like ours it would cost millions of dollars or more if they could do it at all. When you mix lucrative business models with our unique geographic and digital footprint, you have many ways to prosper. We have proven and validated our concept and we are poised for rapid growth.
Membership in the platform is limited to a select few.
Resources
- Website
Our website is under constant review and renovation. This site was designed to appeal to potential business sellers, and has many of the usual features of a corporate website. Within the different sections are articles that contain the message we want potential clients to hear. A very powerful tool in your arsenal is to send links to these articles to people you want to know that we are a thinking man’s company with the talent and imagination to accomplish their objectives.
Brief descriptions of the sections:
Who We Are
This is about our philosophy as business people. In this section we establish that we understands how to do real business in the real world.
Six Reasons to Hire Us
These short essays further describe how we differ from the average firm we compete with. Send this link to someone who you know is thinking about using someone other than us.
Our Business Interests
This section talks about the services we offer with descriptions of each. This list is growing.
Important Questions
These articles were written to deal with potential objections and to reinforce the idea that we know what we are doing. When you encounter an objection that is referred to in these articles, send a link to it to your potential client.
The Company We Keep
Links to articles written by people outside the organization that provide outstanding insights into our business. Again, if an article in this section is relevant to a discussion you have had, send a link to it to signify that that is something we have already recognized.
Senior Management
Simple biographical information on our personnel.
Hidden Pages
There are many pages on our site that you cannot find links to from the navigation bar. These pages are hidden because they contain information and specific marketing proposals to potential lead sources where we don’t want to share our proprietary tactics to the entire world. There are several pitches we make to people who can bring us business, including accountants, attorneys, real estate and insurance professionals and bankers. A link to these pages can be mailed to as many potential lead sources as you can find. We will discuss how to maximize this valuable resource in a separate tutorial.
- Our IT platform
We have developed a proprietary IT system that will enable you to track all activity and execute myriad tasks related to any account. CRM, tasks, email, metrics and all other modalities are addressed. We will provide a tutorial on this feature as well.
Data Services
We subscribe to several services that provide us data on potential sellers. We can identify any business in the US and Canada on dozens of search criteria including industry, geography and sales volume.
Through other sources we have access hundreds of private equity groups, hedge funds, investment bankers and corporations and we know what they are looking for. There is literally a trillion dollars’ worth of investment capital looking for a home. If you can find an attractive company looking for an exit strategy, we can find the buyer.
- Systems
When you’ve been hired to sell a company, you need a written contract with the seller regarding our fees, and we provide that template as well as the non-disclosure agreements for interested parties to sign
Buyers will want to see an initial teaser and then a package of information that includes financials, pictures, projections and the like. We have developed templates that gather this information for you and integrate into the “pitch deck”, or “Confidential Offering Memorandum”. We will train you to produce these documents.
- Mentoring
Although written manuals and video tutorials are helpful, it is impossible to put the guts of an industry in a manual. Senior management is ready and willing to talk to you about the deals you are pursuing and the best practices that will make you successful. Ideas have a way of expanding and multiplying when they are discussed with experienced team members who are dedicated to your success.
