We spend 12 months warming up your best buyers, so when you sell, it's personal — and personal pays more.
It fails for reasons that have nothing to do with your business. Long-term relationships are built on trust, over time — an auction gives a buyer six weeks.
The buyer is busy, waiting on capital, mid-reorg, or your category isn't this quarter's priority. In short: they don't know your business yet.
A stranger discounts numbers they don't trust. A year of coffees doesn't. The head of product hasn't had a day with your CIM — with us, they've had six months.
At a big acquirer, it can take a month to get to the one person who cares. Start at go-time and the clock is already against you.
A process takes three to six months; we begin a year out. Thinking this far ahead is hard, but long-term vision is what you've always been good at — this is no different, except we do the heavy lifting. We introduce you to potential acquirers and keep a regular meeting cadence. You show up, build rapport, and let them fall for the business.
Dots shared over time become lines. By go-time the buyer has already drawn the picture — they know the business, the people, and why they can't afford to lose you.
We transform from relationship builder to banker: decks, models, and materials for a wide process. We find the remaining acquirers and reach out.
We run the paperwork so interest turns into a real conversation, cleanly.
The buyers who spent a year with the business are the ones who move first — and highest.
Diligence and documentation, driven hard so momentum never stalls.
You built it once. You sold it once. Right.
Rather skip the warm-up? Some founders come to us at month zero. We start there too — it's called a Sale Mandate.
Good — keep building. Strategic Sale Preparation costs you one coffee a month. We find the buyers, warm them up, and book the meetings; you show up and talk about the thing you love.
When you're ready — in a year, or three — the relationships are already there. Long-term vision is what you've always been good at. This is no different, except we do the heavy lifting.
Twelve months of buyer warm-up before you go live — the relationships already built by the time it counts.
Five minutes while you walk to get a coffee. No pitch — just the truth about what your company is worth and who might buy it.
