Frequently asked questions

Founders often ask us similar questions, so we've compiled a list of the most frequently asked ones to help.

01

How do you value my business?

We approach valuation in a personalized manner. We will use data from market prices, revenue growth, customer retention, and other factors to come up with a fair price and structure. For many software businesses, this ends up being on a multiple of ARR while others are valued on a multiple of EBITDA.

02

Will you move to where my business is?

Yes! While we find that many organizations have a fully remote workforce in a post-pandemic world, David will relocate to run the business where it has historically been located when there is an on-site presence. For fully-remote workforces, David will work with you to determine the optimal location for the new HQ.

03

Are we not a good match if I don't meet all of the criteria?

Not necessarily. We understand that all businesses are different! If you are a software business doing above $3 million in ARR, growing, and have sticky customers, we'd still love to connect.

04

What if I want to stay involved?

We love to hear when founders are interested in staying with the business after the acquisition. While we expect David to lead as the CEO, we welcome ideas you have in staying involved.

05

Are you going to fire my team?

We are not interested in buying a business that requires severe organizational change and intend to keep the existing team in place. We'll work closely with you during the diligence phase to identify any people concerns that might be damaging to the company culture.

06

How long will this process take?

We recognize the effort that it will take to go down this process and make a commitment to not waste anyone's time. As long as we can access the data we need to review the business, we expect the process to take anywhere between 2 and 5 months.
