THE FIRM

Operators who have bought and sold companies of their own

The partners here have founded companies, raised capital for them, acquired others and sold what they built. That operating history sits behind every deal we do, and it is why the person on your first call can actually decide.

THE COMPANIES BEHIND THE FIRM

What the partners built before this

Founded, acquired, or built alongside partners — mostly in fragmented, unglamorous trades rather than technology.

Roofer.com

Founded by Nathan Mathews. Venture and private equity backed roofing platform, built from nothing in a fragmented trade, $7.5M raised, with an institutional asset manager on the cap table.

Simplicity Solar

Built by Ryan Lock to $35M in three years and sold, run on systems he designed himself. He leads diligence on every asset we underwrite.

Mayer Solar

Acquired by Zak Kuzbari and scaled to $50M through two further acquisitions, after nearly three years at McKinsey.

AO Swag

Nathan's second founded company, built and run alongside Roofer.com. Across the two he raised $21M.

WHAT WE ARE DOING NOW

A data lab, and the counterparty on every deal

  1. 01

    We license directly

    From the company that produced the record. No marketplace, no listing, no auction, and no broker taking a cut.

  2. 02

    We pay for it ourselves

    Typically $100K to $2M, paid by us to the company, with no fee and no commission.

  3. 03

    We prepare and anonymize

    Identifying fields are stripped as part of preparing the data, before anything moves onward.

  4. 04

    We supply the labs

    Use is bounded by the licence. We do not disclose which labs take which data.

WHY IT MATTERS WHO IS BUYING

The counterparty determines how the deal actually goes

  • We have carried a P&L. We know what an operating record is worth because we spent years producing one.
  • The people you meet on the first call are the people who decide. There is no committee you never see.
  • We are spending our own capital, which is why the review comes before the price and why the price does not move afterwards.
  • We have been the seller. The partners know what a process costs a business beyond the headline number.
