Dealwise helps startups with $1M-$10M in annual revenues get acquired. We run a confidential process to get you offers from strategic & financial buyers in half the time of traditional M&A advisors and without locking you into multi-year exclusivity contracts.
Hi @anatasia_evans good question, so far we've seen a mix of financial and strategic buyers. Given we target companies with $1m-$10m in revenue, we see a lot of searcher funds and self-funded searchers, as well as a number of software holding companies.
On the strategic side, it's largely founders at series B+ companies, but some larger ones. In fact the first deal closed through our marketplace was a strategic buyer from a Series D company.
Thanks @anatasia_evans!
The buyers on our platform typically fall into one of three categories: search funds, private equity firms, and strategic buyers.
Search funds are individuals backed by private capital, looking to acquire one business and grow it. Private equity firms and holding companies buy multiple businesses, usually in the same category. Strategic buyers are companies with competing or adjacent products that could get value from your company’s team, product, or customer acquisition channels.
@irvin_at_subframe We've found that it generally takes between 1 to 3 months to get to a verbal offer with at least one buyer. The typical process here is:
1. You have an initial introduction call with the buyer.
2. If the buyer is interested, they will ask to see an NDA-protected data room with more of your financials.
3. You'll have one or two deep dives to discuss your business and financials further.
The fastest we've seen is 2 weeks from initial call to verbal offer.
