For founders
Built with care. Considered with respect.
A change in ownership is a significant decision. The first step is a direct conversation about the business you have built, your priorities, and what a suitable next chapter could look like.
For founders & owners
The next chapter should respect the first.
Deciding what comes next for a business is rarely just a financial question. It may involve personal priorities, the future of a team, or the responsibility of supporting customers who have relied on the product for years.
We welcome a conversation with owners considering a sale or a change in their involvement. The purpose is to understand the business and your objectives, then decide whether further discussion would be worthwhile.

A few practical considerations before an initial conversation.
Contact our teamWhat kinds of businesses do you consider?
We are interested in software businesses with a clear customer need, an understandable operating model, and a practical path for development. Our focus areas include creative technology, business applications, and AI-enabled tools. Each opportunity is considered on its own merits.
What should I include in an initial email?
Tell us what the product does, who uses it, how the business earns revenue, and what you are considering. A website link and a short outline of your objectives provide useful context. Keep the first introduction high level; appropriate arrangements for any confidential material can be discussed before it is shared.
What happens after an introduction?
The first step is to understand the business and your objectives. If there appears to be a fit, we can discuss what additional information would be useful, how it should be shared, and whether to arrange a more detailed conversation.
Do I need to be ready to sell?
You can start a conversation while considering your options. An initial discussion can help establish whether there is a basis for further exploration and which questions need to be addressed.
Will I need to stay involved after a sale?
That would depend on your preferences, the business’s needs, and the agreed terms. Founder involvement and transition responsibilities should be discussed early, rather than left until the end.
How long does the process take?
Timing depends on the complexity of the business, the availability of information, and the terms under discussion. Any proposed timetable would need to be agreed as the conversation develops.
