Morgan and a niche PE firm working with professional athletes - Now 100% focused on equity deals + M&A advisory in the small business space Searchers Raising Equity/ Independent Sponsors - Want to raise equity? If interested in raising equity for your deal, send us an email at redacted - Timing: Please reach out after LOI is signed and under contract, that is when we can be most effective (don't want to give LP's "too" much time they usually close towards very end) How Does SMB PE Help? - PE/ M&A Advisory: Given our extensive M&A advisory and PE advisory we like to get involved right after LOI to help maximize the value we can bring to close - and our investors - in compelling equity deals. 50% of deals fail post LOI, we do our best to mitigate that failure rate. Equity Check Sizes - Target Equity Checks: Our group will look to write $500K - $2M Equity Checks alongside institutional investment partners - Target Companies: Established 10+ year operating history, under $2M of EBITDA or under $50M of enterprise value Institutional Fund Partners - Institutional Partners: We have partnered with a handful of large institutional PE Funds to bring into deals as needed Social Media Reach/ Sourcing Reach - Sourcing: For companies that we invest in, one area we think we can try to help is to look to source new M&A targets in the future in our channels. We have 120,000 followers and average 1.5M - 1.0M views a month for the last year, we can raise our hand for M&A targets when the time is right for portfolio companies. - Selling: Another service we can try offer our portfolio companies is that when they want to sell into market later on, we can help facilitate that sale without a fee (given we are "investors" we cannot charge a fee to our founders so free sale for those who work with us via our channels). Simple but saves our founders 5% - 15% on exit and that is significant.
