About Us
At Rainier Associates, we stand at the forefront of investment advisory, dedicated to unlocking exceptional off-market opportunities for our discerning buy-side clients. Our journey, deeply rooted in a legacy of success and innovation, began over 15 years ago with our esteemed sister company. Through this endeavor, we honed our expertise, completed over 130 deals, and developed a nuanced understanding of the complexities and opportunities within the investment landscape.
In 2024, recognizing the evolving needs of our clients and the market, we launched Rainier Associates in Olympia, WA. This strategic move was driven by our commitment to specialize exclusively in serving our buy-side clientele, offering them unparalleled access to proprietary, off-market deals. Our ethos is centered around the belief that true value and growth are achieved through strategic partnerships and deep market insight.
Dustin Struckman, our Founder & CEO, brings to the table an impressive track record of building and selling eight successful businesses, alongside a history of facilitating successful exits for numerous founders. Under his visionary leadership, Rainier Associates is more than an advisory firm; it’s a catalyst for transformative growth and opportunity.
Our team’s collective experience spans across a diverse array of sectors, including Technology and Software, Healthcare, Business Services, Consumer Goods and Retail, Financial Services, Energy and Utilities, Industrial and Manufacturing, Education and Training, Infrastructure and Environmental Services, and Food and Beverage. This depth and breadth of expertise allow us to identify and seize opportunities that others might overlook and to tailor our strategies to meet the specific needs of our clients.
At Rainier Associates, we pride ourselves on our ability to navigate the complexities of the investment world with agility and foresight. Our approach is meticulously crafted around the unique objectives of each client, ranging from strategic acquirers to financial entities, family offices, private equity, corporate, and public companies. Whether facilitating tuck-ins and add-ons in the $2M – $10M range or orchestrating platform transactions upwards of $50M – $150M, our focus remains unwavering: to drive meaningful value and advance the strategic goals of our clients.
As we look to the future, Rainier Associates remains dedicated to the principles of integrity, innovation, and impact. We are not just advisors; we are partners in our clients’ success, committed to exceeding expectations and achieving outstanding results.
