Investors & Acquisitions

Protect your investment before you even make it.  

Our founder has supported investment and M&A decision-making in the HRTech, TalentTech, and WorkTech spaces for more than a decade - being involved with more than 1bn - half of that in the last 5 years - of investment and M&A with institutional, PE, VC, angel, and strategic investors on multiple continents. 

Deals range from angel to 300m+ rounds/acquisitions across more than a dozen categories in the space. 

We support pre/post terms dd reviewing for new deals, post-acquisition consensus and unification workshops, unified portfolio/roadmap alignment strategy sessions, and shopping service/ matching/intros for acquiring companies and investors.

How we Support You

For PE, VC and Investors with multiple investments, we offer portfolio rates and strategic programs on our training, market research and fractional/strategic support services.

  • Investment Team Advisory

    We partner with your teams to answer questions or provide feedback as needed with deals or projects as they arise. These range from on-demand to ongoing with teams that are in active stage and include our market research access.

  • Introductions and Matching Services

    Our target identification/shopping services help us understand what you are looking for in your next investment or acquisition and identify companies to introduce you to passively or proactively.

  • Pre/Post Terms Support

    We review potential or recently acquired investments looking for gaps, opportunities and internal issues that could impact growth, revenue & adoption. When entering as part of a portfolio we can identify how this will best fit into product, messaging and go to market strategies - or where gaps will create challenges to ensure investment dollars to the right areas.

  • Workshops & Training

    Post investment or acquisition, our workshops and training sessions can assess existing teams for risk and replacement need and prepare for change with consensus and innovation workshops. Where needed, market education and landscape training to speed new leadership to industry is available.

Why we Get "The Call"

We often get the call when one of the following is happening: 

  • A team is looking to invest in or enter the hrtech market for the first time, or has limited exposure
  • Post -Investment isn't seeing revenue growth as expected you want to know why
  • Pre-investment review of potential investments is needed - with a focus on market risk from a buyer/brand/product perspective (we know you have the financials handled) 
  • Strategic Investors need to identify gaps on current product roadmap or inside existing portfolio 
  • You have fractional needs for strategic support as you ramp up your team 
  • Post-investment strategy planning, consensus challenges, determining prioritization for investment and outcomes of key leadership roles
