I have been on the other side for a while, looking to acquire a business, but in the last one year, we went ahead and built a good, fast growing AI consulting firm. In just a year, we have built a $1.7M order book and have visibility for another $1.1M with 90% confidence. Our goal is to cross $3M in booking by the end of our second year. We are not in a hurry to sell. I have spent enough time with search entrepreneurs. They look for high quality deals with good fundamentals. We have all the early signs of building a fantastic company, with AI as a tailwind. We have picked the right verticals and have good partnerships with CXOs who open doors for us. We need a partner in the US who can be the rainmaker and be the face of the company. We are open to partial stake sale to expand the leadership team in the US (and that's where you come in). Who are we looking for? Well, while not exactly addressing the buyer, we do run a parallel search process for a GM in N.America. I have attached the job profile here. We are looking for someone to spend a couple of quarters with us, show that they have it them to build/scale the studio with mid-market enterprise pipeline. We pre-negotiate the stake/valuations and institute a milestone-linked equity top-up and we are also open to cash buy-out of some part of the equity. Think of us as having incubated the company for a year to PMF and now we are looking for an operator to run the sprint for the next orbit of growth. The founding team will stay on to support other functions.
