Our Story

Ascend Capital Advisors was founded by Mike Basta and Matt Triunfo, two insurance M&A professionals who recognized an opportunity to provide more personalized, client-focused advisory services to independent insurance agencies.

With over 20 years of combined experience gained at leading M&A advisory firms, Mike and Matt understood that agency owners deserve dedicated attention and specialized expertise throughout what is often the most important financial decision of their lives.

At Ascend Capital Advisors, we combine the deep industry knowledge and buyer relationships developed at top-tier firms with a boutique approach that prioritizes your unique goals and circumstances. Every agency has a different story, and we tailor our services to ensure the best possible outcome for your specific situation.
