Over the last couple of years, we’ve backed ten serial acquirer platforms across a range of countries (US, Italy, Germany, UK, Netherlands,etc) and industries. One thing I’ve come to appreciate is how much valuable IP searchers build during a search, whether the search ultimately succeeds or not. The relationships and data you’ve built can have real value. You should be able to monetize this after you buy your company or if you concluded your search unsuccessfully. If you’ve wrapped up a search and have relationships or actionable opportunities that might be a fit for another buyer, feel free to reach out. Many of our companies are happy to pay fees to searchers who introduce actionable acquisition leads. Happy to find ways to collaborate. Email me at matt at hamptonriver.com if this is interesting to you. Please share a description of how we might be able to work together and what you've built.
