Founder-first. Future-focused.
Most M&A treats businesses like assets on a spreadsheet. We treat them like what they are: lives’ work. We help founders exit with clarity, protect what matters, and step into what comes next on their terms.

Sector Expertise
We don’t try to cover every industry. We focus on four sectors we know from the inside — where digital-first businesses are scaling fast and buyers are active.
Creative Businesses
Reputation-led firms where brand equity, craft and delivery quality drive value.
Marketing and Growth
Performance agencies and specialists with strong retention, clear positioning and measurable outcomes.
MarTech / SaaS
Recurring revenue models with product leverage, defensible differentiation and buyer-grade scalability.
Creator Economy
Audience-to-revenue businesses built on trust, IP and owned distribution.
Because we know these sectors, we know what buyers pay for, what drives multiples, what creates risk, and how to position your business for the right outcome.

The Experience Succeed Brings
How We Work
Most M&A is made to feel complicated. We keep it controlled, clear steps, straight answers, and no surprises.
1. Clarify
We start with your goals, your non-negotiables, and the numbers that matter, plus the story behind them.
2. Position
We make the business buyer-grade: sharpen the narrative, tighten readiness, and build confidence in the value.
3. Match
We introduce you to serious counterparties who fit, commercially, culturally and strategically.
4. Deliver
We run negotiation, diligence and close with calm control, so you stay focused and in charge.
