We Partner With Startups To Help Them Grow and Scale Through Acquisitions
Here are Some of the Brands We Have Worked With













Startups
Ship faster, fill product gaps, and unlock instant users & data—while improving unit economics and your next‑round story.
Speed‑to‑Market – buy a working feature or mini‑product and reach product‑market fit months sooner.
Talent / Acqui‑hire – onboard an intact, mission‑aligned team in one shot (often cheaper than piecemeal hiring).
Instant Users & Data – fold in an indie app’s paying customers or a valuable dataset to boost retention and insight.
Defensive IP / Tech Moat – lock up niche patents, algorithms, or domains before larger rivals can.
Better Unit Economics – add higher‑margin revenue and improve CAC‑payback optics for your next funding round.
Narrative Boost – a well‑timed deal signals ambition and operational savvy to investors and the press.
Rule of thumb: if a micro‑acquisition can pull a key milestone forward by ≥ 6 months and you can integrate it inside one sprint, it’s worth serious consideration.
Start Acquiring
Business Owners
Exit quickly with a buyer who preserves your product and team—plus optional equity for upside. Choose a short transition or a clean break.
Fast, certain cash‑out
Venture‑backed founders can approve an offer in days and close in weeks—putting retirement cash in your account without a year‑long slog.Legacy & team preserved
Startups buy to grow the product, keep employees, and delight customers—not to shut things down inside a giant corporate portfolio.Equity upside
Take a slice of the acquiring startup. If they 10×, you share in the win—something big strategics rarely offer.Choose your post‑sale role—or none
Opt for a short transition, an advisory seat, or a clean break on Day 1. Startups can tailor the hand‑off to your lifestyle plans.Hand off future risk & reinvestment
Say goodbye to mounting compliance costs, tech upgrades, and competitive pressure while banking today’s value.
Bottom line: A well‑funded startup gives retiring owners the rare combo of speed, legacy protection, and a second bite of the apple—often making it the most rewarding exit path.
Start Selling
Investors
Pull revenue forward, buy accretive ARR at lower multiples, deepen moats, and expand TAM—early, while cheque sizes are small.
Jump‑start the growth curve
A small tuck‑in (e.g., a $500 k‑ARR micro‑SaaS) can push top‑line revenue and retention metrics six months ahead of plan—raising the next round at a richer valuation.Turn cheap revenue into high‑multiple value
Micro‑acquisitions often close at 1‑3× ARR, yet the blended company might exit at 8‑12× ARR—every dollar bought can translate into $4–10 of exit value.Build a deeper moat, faster
Snapping up niche tech, patents, or a tiny rival removes future threats, broadens the product suite, and lowers downside risk for the fund.Upgrade the team without heavy dilution
Acqui‑hiring a 3‑5‑person senior engineering pod costs less than traditional recruiting and typically uses seller equity, not the option pool—runway and cap‑table stay healthy.Leapfrog into new markets or verticals
Buying a local player delivers instant licences, market know‑how, and customers—saving 12‑18 months of GTM build‑out and expanding total addressable market for a larger exit story.
Investor’s heuristic: If an acquisition is price‑to‑value accretive, integration‑light, and milestone‑advancing, supporting it early multiplies fund returns while the cheque size is still small.
