Advisors plug into real work — not cold leads.
Investors get tighter portcos, better deal flow, and fewer busted exits.

The Flywheel That Builds, Fixes, and Exits
At Special Ops, we didn’t build a marketplace — we built a momentum machine.
The EN Score™️ is the spark: founders get clarity, see the gaps, and unlock their roadmap.
Our Advisor Intelligence Engine kicks in: the right operators drop in, fix what’s broken, and drive value.
Investors plug in: portcos get sharper, exits get cleaner, and deal flow gets smarter.
Founders level up. Advisors earn. Investors win.
Then it loops — and compounds. Every Score, every roadmap, every engagement makes the engine smarter.
This isn’t matchmaking. It’s exit infrastructure.
AI Engine
This isn’t your average matchmaking tool. It’s a high-powered intel system built for operators, founders, and investors who don’t have time to waste.
Smart. Fast. Ruthless with Relevance.
AI That Thinks Like a Dealmaker
Our engine doesn't just “analyze requests”—it reads between the lines. Whether you’re an investor sourcing talent, a founder hunting for traction, or an M&A pro trying to plug a gap, our AI maps your real needs to the right operators in seconds.
01
Profiles That Build Themselves
No one has time for long bios and static resumes. Our AI turns expert profiles into living, breathing dossiers—constantly refreshed, data-rich, and calibrated for deal flow, strategy, and execution.
02
Matching That Doesn’t Miss
We run your request through a proprietary algorithm built to match people, not job titles. This is precision matchmaking across the board—advisors, deals, co-investors, and growth partners—all tied to traction, track record, and results.
03
AI That Thinks Like a Dealmaker
Not only do we connect you with the best operators—our AI also surfaces off-market deal opportunities, plugs in buy-side and sell-side partners, and gives M&A firms a straight line into high-value execution talent.
04
TL;DR
Think “AI-powered talent + deal radar + execution force multiplier.”No fluff. Just firepower.
We didn't need another consultant-we needed someone to roll up their sleeves and help us build. The Badass team (now Special Ops) delivered exactly that: no fluff, just sharp operators who helped us execute fast.
In less than 90 days, our sales process was rebuilt, our leadership aligned, and our bottom line started growing again. Best of all, they didn’t just hand us a playbook-they helped us run the plays.
