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.
The same five steps, run on our channels and the founder's in parallel—then kept warm.
Identify the right buyer and the decision-maker.
Connect via our LinkedIn or yours—whichever opens the door.
Follow up by email, from us or yours (connected into our system).
Convert interest into meetings on the calendar.
Follow-ups, email updates and reminders keep every buyer warm.
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.
