Our Backing
We're partnered with a $4.4 billion investing platform with a track record of building investment theses alongside operators from inception.
Our CEO previously launched a $600M venture studio that incubated over 130 software businesses. That experience shapes how we think about building businesses for the long term.
Capital structure: No fund timeline. No forced exits. We underwrite to current earnings and close quickly—our capital partner is aligned and engaged from LOI through close.
We are actively deploying.
Why We Exist
We're built to acquire vertical software businesses that traditional buyers overlook or undervalue.
Private equity runs these on 3-5 year timelines and optimizes for cost cuts. Strategics cherry-pick the largest players. Founder-operators looking to exit often face a choice between selling to financial sponsors who'll gut the business or strategics who'll absorb it.
We offer a third path. An operating team that's built, scaled, and sold companies. And an embedded AI engineering team that can expand what the product delivers to customers without blowing up what works.
For bankers: We move fast, underwrite to current earnings (no hockey-stick assumptions), and close quickly. We're backed by a $4.4 billion platform and don't need to syndicate.
Why Sellers Choose Us
Founders who've done it. All three partners have built, scaled, and sold companies. We know what it takes to build something real.
Long-term ownership. No 3-5 year exit timeline. No financial sponsor playbook.
Operational continuity. We don't dismantle what you built. We invest in it.
Real AI capability. Not a slide deck. An embedded engineering team (YC alumni) deploying AI that expands what products deliver to customers.
Speed and certainty. We underwrite conservatively and close quickly. Our capital partner is aligned from day one.
