Welcoming Back John A. Lanier to “Beyond the Middle™”

We’ve been honored to welcome back John A. Lanier as a featured speaker for The Capital Collective’s “Beyond the Middle™” Capital Intensive, marking his third time participating in one of our Capital Intensives.

John is the CEO and Founder of Profit Rainmaking™ Powered by Middle Market Methods, which he launched in 2006, and the author of Profit Rainmaking™. His work helps companies in the $25 million to $250 million revenue range reduce risk, strengthen operations, and scale with greater clarity, drawing on best practices from large organizations and deep experience supporting portfolio companies of private equity firms.

Over the first two weeks of the “Beyond the Middle™” intensive, our 12 participating businesses began translating what they already know about their businesses into a sharper, more actionable growth strategy. We are learning that better systems, stronger organizational capacity, and strategic clarity are essential to preparing for capital and building for sustainable growth.

Thank you, John, for continuing to invest your wisdom, experience, and energy in this work to help businesses grow “Beyond the Middle™!”
