Sell-side exit support for VC portfolio companies — readiness, buyer mapping, and blind approaches. We've been backed founders and we invest ourselves.
20Seven is a sell-side M&A advisory that works with VC firms to run exits for their portfolio companies, representing the company as seller.
You want your portfolio companies to exit cleanly, on a sensible timeline, without a founder negotiating alone against a professional buyer. We represent the company as seller, run a proper process, and keep you and the founder aligned. We've been VC-backed founders, we make venture investments ourselves, and we work with top VC firms — so we speak your language.
We prepare the business the way a buyer will read it — readiness, a ranked acquirer map, blind approaches, and a tight process — so the exit lands on a sensible timeline and the founder isn't negotiating solo.
Across the portfolio, we help you see which companies are exit-ready and where the gaps are, so you can point advisory attention where it will actually move an outcome.
We've been VC-backed founders, we make venture investments ourselves, and we work with top VC firms around the world. We understand how funds think about exits, timelines, and returns.
Deeply connected across venture and the strategic and financial buyers your companies exit to — so approaches reach the right people, not a generic list.
An honest read on how prepared each portfolio company is to sell — the story, the numbers, the buyer universe, and the gaps to close before a process starts.
We map and rank the acquirers who can't afford to lose the company, then approach them blind — without naming the company until it's ready — to build competitive tension.
We've built and sold companies ourselves, so we prepare each business as operators who know what a buyer will actually test in diligence.
We represent the company as seller — never the buyer, never both sides. The company's and the fund's interests are the only ones we protect.
We prepare the portfolio company, map and rank its buyers, run blind approaches, and drive a tight process to close — representing the company as seller. The full method lives in our Strategic Sale Planning. See how Strategic Sale Planning works.
