About

Precision in Every
Engagement

Peregrine Advisory was founded to do what most advisory firms cannot: put real capital to work, sit in the operator's seat, and take accountability for outcomes. A founder-led firm that assembles specialized teams around each engagement. A partner, not a service provider.

On the healthcare credit side, Peregrine originates deals, serves on investment committees, and builds the operational infrastructure that scales lending platforms. On the company formation side, the firm co-founds businesses from the ground up, from IP strategy through first institutional raise. Deep expertise in healthcare and life sciences, with a platform built to operate across sectors.
