Looking for a searcher CEO for one of our companies, skipping the banker process

Hey folks, Sharing something a little different. We're looking at divesting a small but profitable business at Quadshift and rather than run a typical banker process we'd rather find the right home through this community. Quick on me first since I think it matters here. I came up through the operator side myself (a quasi-searcher path), before we built Quadshift into what it is today. We're a Canadian holding company and we've now done 17 acquisitions across vertical software. So I have real empathy for what searchers are dealing with, and a pretty clear picture of the kind of partner you actually want on the other side of the table. Where I think it gets interesting for a searcher is the structure. We're flexible. Outright sale, partnership, equity participation, hybrid, we'll figure out what works. We can provide transition support, capital where useful, and access to the Quadshift ecosystem of operators, advisors, and follow-on opportunities. Honestly the operator we pick will probably end up working with us on more than just this. The network and the next chapter is the bigger upside. The asset is Project Velocity. Proprietary, profitable tech-enabled service platform serving Canadian franchised auto dealerships. Roughly C$1.07M revenue, ~33% EBITDA margin, 80 dealer customers with no real concentration (no single dealer >4.7%), certified vendor on a major OEM's Canadian dealer program. Four-person core team. It's been running in maintenance mode for us. It deserves a dedicated operator, and the levers are right there. Teaser attached. If it's a fit, request an NDA and I'll send the CIM. Happy to jump on a call before that too. John Paterson Founder and CEO, Quadshift redacted
