Who Brendan Is
Willowbrook represents Brendan's commitment to becoming a dedicated business owner, not a portfolio manager.
Before launching Willowbrook, Brendan founded and scaled Crosscourt, a tech-enabled basketball performance club in Los Angeles, growing it from concept to nearly $1M in ARR. As Founder and CEO, he led product development, marketing, sales, cash flow management, operations, team leadership, and day-to-day execution.
Today, he applies that same hands-on approach to acquiring and personally operating established services businesses.
$1M in committed equity capital
Pre-qualified SBA financing up to $5M+

How Brendan Approaches Growth
Brendan does not acquire businesses to optimize and resell them. He acquires businesses to dedicate his career to building them.
- 1. Protecting What Works
Key employees, customer relationships, and company culture remain the foundation.
- 2. Operational Excellence
Improved systems, reporting, processes, and accountability implemented in partnership with the existing team.
- 3. Sales and Marketing Enhancement
Professionalized pipeline management, pricing strategy, and customer acquisition.
- 4. Strategic Technology
Thoughtful deployment of modern tools and automation to improve efficiency and margins.
- 5. Organic Growth
Expansion of services, markets, or capabilities that strengthen the core business.
This is patient, compound growth built on operational excellence — not financial engineering.
Why Choose anIndividual Owner
- He Works In the Business, Not From Afar
After closing, Brendan becomes the full-time owner-operator. The business becomes his primary professional focus and responsibility.
- Flexible, Personal Deal Structure
Every founder's situation is unique. Whether a complete exit or gradual transition is desired, deal structures are designed around the seller's goals.
- No Timeline Pressure
Without fund investors or institutional timelines, the focus remains on long-term value creation rather than exit planning.
- Financing Certainty
With committed personal equity and established SBA relationships, financing is secured before diligence begins.
- Personal Accountability
When founders sell to Brendan, they are selling to someone who will personally answer for the business's success or failure.
What a Business Looks Like Under Brendan's Ownership
Selling a business is deeply personal. Brendan's commitment is straightforward:
Retaining and developing key employees is a top priority. Their knowledge and relationships are invaluable.
The reputation and identity built over years are preserved and strengthened, not absorbed or erased.
The business continues serving customers and community under committed personal ownership.
With dedicated focus, operational improvements, and patient capital, the business advances to its next level.
After graduating from the USC Marshall School of Business, he began his career in commercial real estate before founding Crosscourt, a premium basketball performance club. As Founder and CEO, he raised over $2M from experienced entrepreneurs and investors, built a 30+ person team, and scaled the business to nearly $1M in ARR.
He later transitioned from Crosscourt to launch Willowbrook and acquire the services businesses he dedicates his career to owning and operating.
Brendan lives in Malibu with his wife Delaney and their dog Cooper. Outside of business, he enjoys basketball, golf, running, and time outdoors.
When Brendan acquires a company, it becomes his life's work.
