Outsourced M&A / biz-dev team for vertical software roll-ups

Provide ongoing deal-sourcing and outreach (phone/email cadence) to identify acquisition targets for consolidators and investors.

Summary

Offer a service that replicates Constellation's large M&A outreach: a dedicated team that regularly contacts thousands of niche software owners, builds pipelines, and qualifies acquisition opportunities on a retainer-plus-success-fee model.

Problem

Buyers and smaller acquirers lack the resources or teams to maintain continuous outreach across thousands of fragmented targets.

Target customer

Roll-up platforms, private equity, strategic acquirers, and mid-sized software companies seeking to scale via acquisitions.

Solution

Operate an outsourced biz-dev/M&A function that executes a twice-yearly contact cadence, manages follow-ups, qualifies leads, and hands off vetted opportunities or executes deals on clients' behalf.
