Clean Metrics & Low Return Rates
Buyers love clarity — and low returns = high confidence
We work with founders who decide to sell their media and technology business for the following reasons:
Market Timing
The founder sees strong demand or peak performance and wants to capitalize while valuations are high, ensuring maximum return before market conditions shift.
Operational Burnout
Running a media or technology business requires constant oversight of products, customers, innovation, and operations. Many founders sell to regain flexibility and reduce day-to-day demands.
Scaling Limitations
Some founders reach a growth ceiling and need a larger partner to take the business to the next level, whether that’s expanding into new markets, accelerating product development, or investing in infrastructure.
Industry Disruption
Changes in technology, AI, market trends, or customer expectations can create the right opportunity to sell while the business remains strong.
Life Changes
Family needs, health priorities, or a desire for a different lifestyle often lead founders to explore an exit — especially when the business is still performing well.
New Ventures
Founders are entrepreneurial at heart. After years of building one brand, many are ready to start something new and want to free up capital and mental space.
Team Transitions
Key team members may be moving on, or the founder no longer wants to lead product development, innovation, and day-to-day operations, making this the right time to pass the baton.
Exit Planning Strategies
Some founders always planned to sell and are simply executing on that plan now that the business has hit the right size, stability, and valuation.
Strategic Buyout
A compelling offer from a strategic buyer, private equity firm, or technology platform can create a win-win situation that aligns with the founder’s goals, prompting a sale even if they weren’t actively seeking one.
Step 1: Initial Consultation
We start with a confidential conversation to understand your goals, timeline, and business. This helps us build a tailored exit strategy based on your products, services, customers, and long-term objectives.
Step 2: Valuation
Our team conducts a comprehensive valuation using your financials, recurring revenue, customer base, assets, and market trends to determine a fair, data-backed asking price.
Step 3: Market Positioning
We identify what makes your business stand out, whether it’s recurring service agreements, a strong local reputation, specialized expertise, or a loyal customer base, and position it to attract the right buyers.
Step 4: Preparation of Marketing Materials
We create a professional, data-rich prospectus that highlights your services, financial performance, customer relationships, team, and growth opportunities.
Step 5: Buyer Identification and Screening
Through our curated buyer network, we connect your business with qualified strategic buyers, private equity firms, and investors actively seeking media and technology companies like yours.
Step 6: Presentations and Meetings
We coordinate buyer meetings, prepare you for every conversation, and manage the process so you can confidently present your business while we handle the logistics.
Step 7: Negotiations and Offers
Once offers come in, we help you compare terms, negotiate pricing, and structure the best deal, whether that’s cash at close, seller financing, or a transition period.
Step 8: Due Diligence
We organize your key financial, operational, customer, product, and intellectual property documentation to keep due diligence moving efficiently and maintain momentum toward closing.
Step 9: Closing and Transition
We finalize documents, coordinate the handoff of assets, contracts, accounts, and intellectual property, and guide you through a seamless transition, whether you’re stepping away completely or staying on for a short-term support period.
Our fee structure is simple, transparent, and aligned with your success.
During the engagement, while our team works to match your Media & Technology business with the right buyer, you'll pay a monthly retainer ranging from $5,000 to $20,000, depending on the size and complexity of your business. When the deal closes, you'll pay a success fee equal to 10% of the cash consideration received at closing. There are no hidden fees and no surprises, just a fee structure designed to keep everyone aligned and focused on achieving the best possible outcome.
Our Strategic Engagements Are Designed to Maximize Your Exit.
Our three signature engagements go beyond traditional M&A advisory, helping founders of Media & Technology businesses confidently navigate every stage of a sale. Backed by deep industry experience and a proven track record, each engagement is tailored to your company's unique goals. Whether you're preparing your business for sale, evaluating inbound buyer interest, or ready to go to market, our process delivers clarity, confidence, and the best possible outcome.
1. Valuation Only
(Understand & Assess)
For founders who want to understand what their Media & Technology business is worth, this engagement delivers a clear, data-backed valuation based on industry benchmarks, financial performance, recurring revenue, growth metrics, and market positioning. You'll gain the insights you need to decide if, when, and how to sell, with no pressure attached.
2. Transaction Support
(Advise & Execute)
If you already have a buyer at the table, we’ll jump in to guide you through the deal—structuring terms, negotiating price, managing diligence, and protecting your interests through closing. It’s expert support without the full-market process.
3. Full Go-to-Market Representation
(Prepare & Represent)
This is the full-service, white-glove experience. We handle everything—valuation, positioning, buyer outreach, negotiations, and closing—so you can focus on running your store while we drive the exit process. Perfect for founders seeking top-dollar offers and a smooth transition.
Since 2015, we've guided over 1,000 businesses through valuations & acquisitions.
In the dynamic realm of M&A, experience isn't just a bonus—it's the key ingredient that empowers buyers and sellers to navigate the intricate process with assurance and also achieve their goals.
