Through the process of finding a new home for Avenue we spoke to tens of potential partners. From our very first meeting, Andrew and Curious stood out for their empathy for our story, curiosity (unsurprisingly!) and a builder’s mindset that focused on potential and possibility.

More simply: they just got it. It was refreshing to start from a place of understanding and respect, rather than feeling like every aspect of the company’s history and operations was under a microscope.

Working with Curious was an incredibly smooth and straightforward process. From the beginning, they demonstrated quick decision making and a level of transparency that made the entire experience seamless. Unlike many firms that acquire businesses to run out cash, Curious is passionate about the brands they take on. Their dedication to the business was clear, and I’m confident it’s in great hands. I couldn’t recommend them more highly.

We were specifically looking for a team with the operating experience to take the business to the next level. This is where the "Builders, not bankers" mantra of Curious was a perfect fit.

Not only did we find the right home for the Convox team, but we also knew that the business would continue to thrive and our customers would be in the experienced hands of operators who would invest in and improve the business and its products.

The first thing we noticed about Andrew and the Curious team was their approach to business, one that feels more human and less transactional.

Right from our first conversation, they led with clarity and a deep commitment to transparency—values that we instantly aligned with. From the start, I could tell they weren't just checking boxes, they genuinely wanted to understand our journey and were focused on getting a positive outcome for everyone.

Andrew and the Curious team are some of the best marketing minds I know. Their ability to leverage the strengths of everyone around them to have the absolute best outcome for the business they are focusing on is absolutely astounding.

Working with Andrew and the Curious team is one of the most rewarding experiences I've had in my time as a marketing consultant, and I highly recommend them.
