Trusted Advisor Network
The Infrastructure for Your Practice
A curated membership for professionals actively involved in originating, advising on, and executing transactions in the lower middle market.
The Problem
Your Network Shouldn't Be a Guessing Game
Most advisory professionals rely on random networking events, outdated referral lists, and cold introductions to find deal partners. The result? Wasted time, mismatched opportunities, and relationships that never compound.
Generic Networking Events
You attend events with hundreds of people who have no deal focus. You leave with business cards that lead nowhere.
No Vetting Process
Anyone can join most networks. You waste time filtering out unqualified contacts instead of building real advisory relationships.
Transactional Relationships
Introductions are one-and-done. There's no infrastructure to turn a single referral into a compounding partnership.
No Deal-Sharing Infrastructure
There's no centralized platform to share, review, or collaborate on active transactions with vetted professionals.

Meet the Founder
Kyle Griffith
CEO & Founder, Eminae Network · Managing Partner, The NYBB Group
Kyle Griffith is a seasoned M&A professional with over 15 years of experience helping business owners navigate the complexities of buying, selling, and growing companies. As the Managing Partner and Principal of The NYBB Group, he has represented hundreds of small and mid-sized businesses through successful transactions.
Recognizing that the lower middle market lacked a true ecosystem connecting business owners, investors, and trusted advisors, Kyle founded Eminae Network to fill that gap. What started as a local roundtable has grown into a national platform with 200+ members, 50+ events per year, and over $2B in represented deal flow.
Kyle is a Certified Business Intermediary (CBI) and holds the CM&AP and MCBI designations. He serves on the Board of Governors of the International Business Brokers Association (IBBA), is Chairman of the New York Association of Business Brokers, and is a Founder of The M&A Alliance.
"I built Eminae because I saw firsthand how fragmented the advisory landscape was. Business owners deserve a team of trusted professionals working together — not a Rolodex of strangers."
