What we do
Unlock the value your technology has yet to realize.
Building valuable technology and commercializing it are different challenges. When the original business model has not worked—or a pivot leaves technology outside the company’s priorities—we help founders and investors sell or license it to a company that can put it to work. We stay involved from the first assessment through buyer conversations, diligence, and closing.
01
Technology & IP sales
Turn transferable software, algorithms, patents and know-how into an acquisition opportunity for a strategic buyer.
Typical situations
- A product line or platform no longer fits the company’s strategy after a pivot.
- A startup is winding down and the owners want to preserve the value of what was built.
- Specific modules are more valuable to a strategic buyer than the business as a whole.
Not every dataset, model, patent, contract, or license is automatically transferable. Defining the perimeter is part of the work.
02
Strategic acquisitions & carve-outs
Find a new home for a technology business, product or platform that needs a different owner to realize its potential.
Typical situations
- An operating technology business is exploring a strategic sale.
- A company wants to separate a product or platform for a buyer with a clear strategic need.
- Investors or a board want a disciplined view of potential strategic acquirers.
We focus on situations where technology is central to the buyer’s rationale.
03
Licensing
Explore a route to monetization that gives a buyer access to the technology without necessarily acquiring the business.
Typical situations
- The owner wants to keep the asset while creating commercial value from it.
- A buyer needs access to a capability but not the full business or team.
- Licensing is considered alongside, or as an alternative to, an asset sale.
The structure depends on ownership rights, buyer requirements, and seller objectives.
What a mandate can include.
- Asset brief and transfer perimeter
- Ranked buyer universe with buyer-specific rationale
- Expert feedback on fit and route into each buyer
- Tailored pitch materials and demonstration plan
- Coordinated outreach and introductions
- Support through evaluation, diligence, negotiation, and closing
Scope is agreed individually for each mandate. We do not publish standard packages, fees, or timelines.
What we need from the seller.
- A clear description of the technology and what it does today.
- Information on ownership, licenses, and any known restrictions.
- Available documentation, demos, and evidence of capability.
- Access to people who can explain the technology during evaluation.
- The seller’s objectives and the parties authorized to decide.

Tell us what you have built, where the business stands, and what you want to achieve. We will discuss whether a focused sale or licensing process makes sense.
