Approach

A different kind of buyer.

No committee, no portfolio, no re-trade games. One decision-maker who knows the category, buying one company to run in person. Here is how that differs from the usual buyer, and how a deal actually moves.

Side by side

Selling to me is not like selling to a fund.

A typical acquirer

Working with me

Who decides

An investment committee signs off, not the person you've been talking to.

I decide. No committee has to sign off on a call I've already made.

Diligence

Tests your financial model. Rarely tests whether the buyer understands your product.

I've run security programs, so diligence confirms trust rather than teaching me the category.

Your company's future

Folded into something bigger, and its name goes away.

One company, run in person, under the name you built.

Terms

Move after the letter of intent, once diligence hands the buyer leverage.

Committed capital means far less room for terms to move after we agree them.

How it works

Four steps, on a clear clock.

1 Week 1

Intro call

Thirty minutes to hear your goals and see if it makes sense to keep talking. A conversation, not a pitch.

2 Weeks 2 to 3

In-person visit

If there's mutual interest, I come to you. We walk the business, meet key people, and talk about what a good transition looks like for you.

3 60 to 90 days

Offer and diligence

A clear, fair offer followed by transparent diligence. You'll know what I need, why I need it, and where things stand at every point.

4 3 to 6 months

Close and transition

A transition plan built around your goals. Stay involved or step away; either way the handoff is smooth and your team is supported.

What staying means.

I'm not assembling a portfolio or preparing a resale. I'm looking for one company to operate and grow over years, which changes what matters in diligence and after close: continuity for your team, your customers and the name you built.
