Riverguide can mean somewhat different things to different people. In our search, we found modest success with two distinct situations. 1. smaller, industry specific business brokers. We found a few folks who knew an industry inside and out and made introductions to businesses they thought were a fit. 2. Someone who you knew from prior to search who has experience investing or operating in an interesting industry. These folks helped with more warm intros to information centers or other folks who were ingrained in an industry.

SuccessionMatching.com offers such a service as part of our online platform. This service is for deals of $2million EV and up.

We are non-exclusive, so both parties are free to hire advisors to negotiate the deal post introduction by us.
