First Nations economic development corporations & boards

Acquisition advice that supports informed board decisions.

Independent valuation and transaction support for First Nations organizations considering the purchase of an operating business.

Experience alongside an economic development board

Travis Kellett served as a volunteer independent director with Wahpeton Dakota Developments, the economic development arm of Wahpeton Dakota First Nation. He retired from that board role in 2021.

His contributions included supporting the separation and independence of economic development governance from Chief and Council, evaluating businesses for sale, and helping the organization assess and complete business acquisitions.

That experience informs how Bridgepoint approaches acquisition advice: clear commercial analysis, respect for the board’s decision-making responsibilities, and practical support through the transaction.
