StartWise clientHighly recommends StartWiseThe owners worth meeting have never heard a good pitch.
Many never list with a broker. They answer the buyer who clearly did the homework on their company.
Brokers shop every deal
You bid against dozens of buyers on the same listing.
Owners ignore PE email
Templated pitches get deleted unread, every week.
Sourcing eats your week
Lists, follow-ups and scheduling crowd out owner meetings.
Reach out when something changes.Not when a list says so.
We watch every company in your buy box for the moments owners start thinking about what’s next. Each signal moves a company up your list and becomes the first line of the message.
Hi Dana,
Congrats on bringing on your first controller this spring. Usually a sign of a company that’s ready for its next chapter.
Contracts with two of the Upstate’s hospital systems are rare in facility services. We buy and hold family-owned companies like yours, and keep the team and the name.
Open to a short call next week?
Lives in your inboxand your CRM.
We integrate with everything. Messages go from your own inbox and domain, and targets and notes land in the CRM you already use.
- Nothing to migrate or learn
- Owners reply to you, not to a tool
- Your notes stay with each company

From thesisto held meeting.
Four steps, run by our team and our AI. You make the calls that matter: who to reach and what to say.
Your thesis in.A list of owners out.
Sector, size, region and ownership become a researched list of companies, with the owner named.
- Founder- and family-owned companies
- Every company scored against your criteria
- Broker-listed and PE-backed skipped
No black-box scores.Every fit has receipts.
Each company shows why it made the list, where that came from and what’s still unknown, so you never reach out on a guess.
- The reasons, with their sources
- What we couldn’t confirm, flagged
- Your firm’s notes kept with the company
A message the owneractually answers.
Each one is written about their company and sent as you, after you approve it. Replies and scheduling are handled.
- Sent from your name and domain
- A few owners a week, never a blast
- A one-page brief before every meeting
Not nowisn’t no.
Many owners aren’t ready the first time. Every conversation, note and date stays with the company, so you’re first in line when they are.
- Full history on every target
- A follow-up set for when they said
- Pick up where you left off
Every skip makesthe next list better.
Approve or skip, and say why if you like. Each new batch is built from what you approved before and which owners answered.
- Your reasons become the filter
- Owners who answer shape the next batch
- Less time reviewing, every week
Your sourcing doesn’tstop at the LOI.
The same research and outreach, pointed at what comes next.
Add-ons for your platform
Owner-led companies around the one you just bought, found and contacted the same way.
AI follow-up inside your companies
Customer follow-ups, reminders and routine admin, run for the businesses you own.
Every “not now” kept warm
Owners who passed this time stay in your pipeline for your next platform.
Nothing goes outwithout your yes.
Your yes on every message
Every owner and every word, approved by you first.
Your targets stay yours
Only your team sees them, and we never contact them for another buyer.
Protected data
Encrypted in transit and at rest, and never used to train public AI.
6 held owner meetings in 90 days. In writing.
If fewer than six are held by day 90, we keep working at no cost until they are.
Questions
Does a match mean the owner wants to sell?
No. A company that fits your thesis is a reason to start a conversation, not a sign the owner is ready. Interest and timing only come from talking to them, which is what we set up.
Will owners know you’re an agency?
Messages go out in your name, from your domain, about your interest in their company. You’re the buyer and you take the call. We run the research and scheduling behind you.
Who sees my targets?
Only you and the people working on your account. Your thesis, list and conversations are yours, and we don’t contact your targets for anyone else while we work together.
Do broker-listed companies count?
No. Listed companies and ones already in your pipeline are flagged and skipped, and meetings with brokers or bankers don’t count.
What does it cost?
It depends on how narrow the thesis is, so we quote after the walkthrough. You’ll see the full price and terms before you sign anything.
