Introductions to founders looking to sell.

If you reach these markets, we’d like to explore a referral partnership with you: we introduce ourselves and our services to your contacts or clients, and ensure you’re financially rewarded.

We pay a 15% referral commission for any qualified introduction, up to $50,000 USD or EUR (currency is based on the client’s region). The highest referral commission we’ve paid to date was $26,000, for a single email introduction.

We value all referrals and the trust such introductions carry. We aim to provide value even if we don’t proceed on a deal together. Selling a business is an important decision, and we don’t push or pressure it. We act as advisors.

Please note: we work exclusively in the markets listed above. We don’t take on e-commerce, SaaS, manufacturing and the many other business models. We’re passionate and experienced in our lane, and we like to stay in it. A general “my friend wants to sell” likely won’t be of value to your contact or to us, unless they operate in these business models. If their business is a fit, we can confidently say a conversation with our team will be one of the most productive they’ll have in their exit exploration.

Introductions to potential buyers.

Unfortunately, we don’t compensate for buyer or acquirer introductions. Acquirers often offer a referral commission for pairing them with a right-fit deal, so you’ll want to explore that kind of relationship with the buy side.
