Mathew Cybul is a strategic operator with a background in finance and a passion for helping founders navigate successful exits. As Acquisition Director at Merge, he leads sell‑side engagements across all verticals—guiding agency and service‑business owners through valuations, buyer outreach, negotiations, and diligence to ensure smooth, founder‑aligned outcomes.

With deep experience in finance, operations, and leadership strategy, Mathew brings clarity and structure to every stage of the M&A process. He helps founders prepare for market, manages the details that drive deals forward, and ensures that each transaction reflects the long‑term value they’ve built.

Mathew believes that no two businesses—or founders—are alike. He takes the time to understand each company’s story, goals, and challenges to ensure the process feels personal, not transactional. His approach is thoughtful, practical, and rooted in trust.

He’s passionate about building environments where teams can thrive long after a deal is done, and he works closely with both founders and buyers to support smooth transitions and lasting partnerships.

A devoted girl dad, licensed boat captain, and lifelong Giants and Mets fan, Mathew brings the same patience, leadership, and creative problem-solving to fatherhood as he does to business. Whether he’s navigating the waters or navigating a complex deal, he’s always focused on what’s ahead and how to make it stronger.

At Merge, Mathew is helping founders close the chapter they’ve built—while opening the door to what’s next.
