HOLD FAST GROUP

Building Ecosystems.

THE ECOSYSTEM

  • Three specialized ventures working in synergy, where each company strengthens the others through shared expertise, resources, and strategic vision.

  • Every venture serves a greater purpose: healing veterans, scaling practices that help others, and creating premium solutions that drive real impact.

  • Military precision applied to business transformation. Proven methodologies that turn challenges into opportunities for systematic conquest.

HOLD FAST Group is a veteran-owned enterprise that builds interconnected business ecosystems, transforming challenges into systematic victories. Founded by Navy veteran Lawrence B. Librando, we unite three specialized ventures under one strategic umbrella: HELM Recovery (veteran substance abuse treatment), APEX Consulting (mental health practice scaling), and RealGoat19 (premium design solutions).

Our systematic approach combines military precision with proven business methodologies. We don't just run separate companies - we build ecosystems where each venture strengthens the others. From scaling revenue to developing evidence-based telehealth programs for veterans, we deliver measurable results through disciplined execution.

Our mission is to serve those who served, scale practices that heal, and create systems that work. Whether providing life-changing treatment to veterans, helping mental health practices achieve sustainable growth, or designing digital solutions that drive success, we apply the same foundational principle: systematic excellence creates lasting impact.

HOLD FAST Group represents the evolution of strategic business development - where purpose meets precision, and where every venture contributes to a greater mission of transformation and service.
