Upshift Partners - Experienced Operators Actively Searching to Acquire and Build!

At Upshift- we are a holding company looking to take minority or majority stakes in cash flow positive B2B businesses with revenues in the range of $5-$30M. We’re fairly industry agnostic in nature focusing on 3 key B2B business models- Services, Marketplaces & Software.

What’s unique about us is that we’re founded by 3 serial entrepreneurs who’ve scaled several businesses to over $100M in revenue in the past and have exited them successfully to public corporations and private equity. Each of them have unique skillsets and so from a thesis perspective- we’re looking to bring our expertise and experience in GTM, Sales and Technology to scale these businesses rapidly.

We're looking for B2B companies that are either products or services that can dramatically improve with technology. We want to bring our scaling/Go to market expertise to grow the topline and our technology expertise (specifically AI and Machine learning) to automate much of the operations.

We've been around since quite some time now and have advised, invested and consulted over 40 companies in the likes of Uber, Reddit, Thumbtack, etc from our venture capital arm. We’ve scaled several of these companies from inception and have successfully exited them.

In terms of Capital Allocation- we’re looking to deploy $100M to $150M across 4-6 opportunities by the end of next year. We are investing off our own balance sheets and thus have fairly liquid capital to close transactions. We’re very actively looking to invest in quality companies and thus are building a robust dealflow. As a firm- we’re highly thesis driven and hence come to a yes or no conclusion fairly quickly.
