Debt & equity referrals for off-market saas deal - $10m ARR, $8m ebitda

We’re raising $30M in equity and $40M in debt for the acquisition of a high-growth, U.S.-based consumer SaaS company. This is an off-market, proprietary transaction with exclusivity secured following a two-year direct relationship with the founder.

The business is performing exceptionally, with:

$10M ARR / $8M EBITDA (FY2024)
50% YoY growth in Q1 2025
No customer concentration
Low churn, low CAC, and high NRR

A CEO with prior Fortune 500 executive experience is committed to leading the company post-close.

We’re looking for debt and equity partners who move quickly and appreciate founder-led, off-market deals with significant upside.

Happy to share a detailed deck, model, and CIM under NDA.

This sounds like a great business. How quickly are you looking to lock up your partners? Close the deal?

What is your minimum check size? Any other specific criteria you are looking for from debt and equity partners?

Will profits be distributed or reinvested into growth in the coming years?
