We spent years inside an acquirer, evaluating software, SaaS, and IT services companies exactly like yours. Now we sit on your side of the table. The decisions stay yours.
The advisers who cover software at scale will not return your call below a certain size. So founders end up with a generalist business broker, a marketplace listing, or a real estate agent who also does business sales. Right now there are software platforms listed for sale by residential realtors. That is not a market verdict on those companies. It is a process verdict.
The result: the wrong buyers, one interested party instead of several, and a price set by whoever showed up first.
We know who the real buyers are, what they actually pay for, and how they think, because we were in the room.
If the sale is a year or more away, the highest-value work usually is not the process itself. It is exit preparation: running the buy-side read on your company first, ranking what would kill the deal or cut the multiple, and fixing it while there is still time.
Some owners arrive here and end up buying a competitor instead, or raising strategic capital, or spending a year making the company worth materially more before going to market. All of that sits in the same practice. See corporate development.
A confidential conversation costs nothing. You will leave it knowing more about your options than you do today.
