Dave Mason has spent more than twenty years building businesses, not positions. He founded and operates e-commerce companies — including Knobs.co — through two decades of changing markets, and exited an education business along the way.
That operating history is the foundation of how Lionstone invests. Dave has structured and funded bridge loans, completed business acquisitions with little or no cash at close, and built a reputation for finding the win-win structure inside transactions others had written off. He is the author of multiple books on business strategy.

A story of money and how it actually works — personal finance taught the way operators learn it: through consequences.
Why the fastest route to a business that works is a disciplined willingness to find out what doesn't.
If better structure would change your outcome, start the conversation.
