CAPITAL SOURCES FOR FINTECH / PAYMENT INDUSTRY ACQUISITIONS

We are looking for capital sources for a joint venture acquiring revenue generating portfolios in the payment space. 

We're looking for capital in the $5 Million - $50 Million range and have identified opportunities that are in excess of $250 Million. 
Our initial thinking is family office, private equity, specialty finance companies. 

I am looking to learn if there's a clearer data source or way to connect with the right size, industry, and overall sources. Thank you in advance for your experience and help. 

Matt

^[redacted]‌ - You can find investors that match your search criteria under the Directory tab at the top of this page. I doubt you'll find much traction on the FinTech side in the Searchfund community, but there have been a few payment processor success stories. Here is the direct link: www.searchfunder.com/searchfund/mysearchfund.

Also, be sure to check out the relevant IBISWorld report on the payment processor industry. You can view up to 50 IBISWorld Reports a month on Searchfunder under the Industries tab at the top of page. Here is the direct link for ONLINE PAYMENT PROCESSING SOFTWARE DEVELOPERS: www.searchfunder.com/post/ibisworld-report-online-payment-processing-software-developers-1. ^[redacted]‌ or ^[redacted]‌ might be able to suggest additional titles.

Luke, I appreciate the comment and feedback. Why do you doubt the traction on the FinTech side? Looking to learn more and appreciate the guidance.

^[redacted]‌ - Searchfund investors and lenders are generally looking for a strong track record of profitability and low customer concentration. Historically, there has been an aversion to tech companies in general, although this has changed markedly in the last five years or so. If you have a FinTech company with strong EBITDA margins over the last few years, you'll most likely get some traction in the Searchfund ecosystem. Happy to chat more offline anytime.

Tagging a few Searchfunders with expertise in payment processing or who have commented on this topic in the past and might be in a position to help you. (To our commenters, THANK YOU in advance for making Searchfunder a helpful community). ^[redacted]‌, ^[redacted]‌, ^[redacted]‌, ^[redacted]‌, ^[redacted]‌, ^[redacted]‌, ^[redacted]‌, ^[redacted]‌, ^[redacted]‌, ^[redacted]‌, ^[redacted]‌, ^[redacted]‌, ^[redacted]‌, ^[redacted]‌, ^[redacted]‌, ^[redacted]‌
