Search and seed investor looking for co-investors on a legacy data consolidation around a niche professional service
I invest in search and seed deals, and I’m posting about one of my own. We own a profitable, bootstrapped data company that has become infrastructure for a niche professional service: the lenders, advisors, and practitioners who need insights on private companies and industries. We’re now positioned to acquire a set of legacy assets in the data, research, and credentialing space around that same profession, and we’re beginning to bring in outside capital to do it.
What makes this one different from the usual roll-up thesis:
The platform already exists, with seven-figure recurring revenue and partnerships with blue chip information companies.
The targets are decades-old, founder-owned businesses with loyal professional customers, and several are already in early conversations with us.
We own the data layer the others sit on top of, which is why we’re the natural consolidator.
I’m looking for family offices and individual investors who like buy-and-build in data and information services, especially anyone who has done one. Details stay off the forum, but if this sounds like your kind of deal, comment or message me and we’ll get on a call.
