Built by a Buyer, for Buyers
Our founder spent years searching for great acquisition opportunities in the Lower Middle Market and kept running into the same problems:
- Too much time wasted on manual outreach.
- Outdated or low-quality deal data.
- Overwhelmed Brokers and Bankers.
- Tech stacks that were too expensive and complex.
- Business Development Personnel without deep technical expertise.
He realized that if he was facing these challenges, thousands of other buyers were too. Without a full-time team, advanced AI-data capabilities, and scaled outreach solutions - many buyers in the Lower Middle Market don’t have access to a complete dealflow solution.
