We started Anchor for a simple reason. We’ve built and run ABA companies ourselves, and we know how much a good agency can do with the right capital and the right people beside it.
This note is about who we are, who we work with, and how we decide whether we can really help.
Who we are
We’ve founded and operated ABA therapy companies, more than once. Beyond ABA, we’ve run healthcare businesses more broadly, and we invest our own capital in growing companies. We’ve made payroll in a tight month, opened in new states, chased down collections and built teams from the first hire up.
That’s the experience we bring. Not advice from the sidelines, but practical help from people who have done the work.
Why established, small and mid-size ABA agencies
We partner with agencies that already work: typically $75K+ in monthly revenue and a couple dozen clients or more. These are owners who have proven they can deliver care families trust, and who are ready for the next stage, whether that’s a new state, a first clinic, a stronger back office or simply more breathing room in the cash flow. We’re not trying to build a giant. We help good operators take their agency to the next level.
It’s a good time to be that agency. Job postings for BCBAs rose 28% in 2025,1 and in a 2026 industry survey about 83% of autism services professionals expected double-digit revenue growth this year, with about 68% considering adding or expanding service lines.2 The opportunity is real. Turning it into steady, sustainable ABA agency growth is where a partner helps.
What partnership looks like
We work across five areas, and an agency can lean on one or all of them:
- Capital. Funding from $250K to $1M, sized to the plan.
- Growth. New states, new clinics and new contracts, so more children get care.
- Operations. Real-time visibility into the whole operation, with less busywork.
- Finance. Stronger cash flow, faster collections, cleaner ABA billing and real control.
- People. Help building a team that can carry the growth, from RBT retention to BCBA career paths.
You run your agency. We’re right beside you, especially for the big decisions.
Signs it may be time for a partner
- The agency has grown, but every decision still lands on your desk.
- Your data has gaps, so it’s hard to see what’s really going on.
- Cash flow is tight even though the caseload is growing.
- You want to open a clinic or enter a new state, but the timing and the numbers feel uncertain.
- Hiring and keeping BCBAs and RBTs takes more of your time than running the agency.
None of these mean something is wrong. They’re what success looks like at the next stage, and they’re exactly where experienced operators can help.
What we don’t do
We don’t take the wheel. Clinical decisions stay with your clinical team, and the agency stays yours to lead. We don’t push growth for its own sake, and we don’t partner where we can’t add real value. Our job is to make a good agency stronger: more cash flow, new states and clinics, better visibility into your operations and finances, and help building a stronger team.
How we decide
Every partnership starts with an honest conversation about where the agency is today, where the owner wants to take it, and whether we can add real value. We only partner where we’re confident we can help, with capital, with hands-on support, or both.
If there’s a potential fit, we take the time to understand the business in depth, confidentially. Then we put together a practical plan: what a partnership or an advisory engagement would look like over the next 12–24 months. The owner decides if it’s the right fit.
Every conversation is 100% confidential.
