About Bridge Crest

We do this because most owners only sell once.

The stakes are too high for a process that treats your business like one of fifty in a pipeline. Bridge Crest Partners exists to do this differently: confidentially, personally, and entirely on your terms.

The partners

The two people behind every deal.

Warren Hawkins
Managing Partner

Before co-founding Bridge Crest Partners, Warren built and led the M&A function at a tech-forward staffing platform that executed multiple acquisitions under his leadership. There, he developed deep expertise in proprietary data sourcing, buy-side prospecting, seller education, and right-sized pre-LOI diligence, the same disciplines that now define how Bridge Crest finds and qualifies the right buyers for the right businesses.

Warren holds a B.B.A. in Finance from the University of Georgia and an M.Ed. from Harvard University. He is an Eagle Scout and an active member of several community organizations in his hometown of Nashville, TN.

Greg Skloot
Managing Partner

Greg co-founded Bridge Crest Partners after a decade operating venture-backed software companies. He was most recently CEO of Crystal, a Personality AI startup backed by $7M in funding led by Salesforce Ventures. Earlier, he served as VP of Growth at Netpulse, leading sales, marketing, customer success, and operations through its 2018 acquisition by eGym, and as CEO of Attend.com, acquired by EventFarm in 2016.

Greg co-authored Predicting Personality (Wiley, 2019), a book about using AI to better understand people and win more business. He was named to the Forbes 30 Under 30 list for enterprise technology.

Our story

Why we started Bridge Crest.

For business owners, the sale of a company is rarely just a financial event. It's a life-changing transition that carries weight, emotion, and a long list of unknowns: for the owner, their family, their employees, and their customers.

For acquirers, finding the right business to buy is just as consequential. The wrong fit means lost time and capital. The right one can unlock years of growth.

Bridge Crest Partners exists to be the conduit between the two, connecting the right owners with the right buyers, on terms that work for both sides. We do it confidentially, on the owner's timeline, with senior attention from start to finish.

What sets us apart

Built for owners. Not for volume.

Senior Attention, Always

Every conversation, every introduction, and every negotiation is led by a partner. There are no junior associates handling your deal, by design.

Confidentiality First

Your business stays protected throughout: no public listings, no leaks, no tipping off competitors, employees, or customers until you choose to.

Reputation Over Fees

We're built for the long term. Every deal we touch is a deal we'd be proud to talk about, even if you can't talk about it publicly.

By the numbers

Built on results, not promises.
