What We Offer
Buy-Side Advisory Services
Whether you're making your first acquisition or building a portfolio through roll-up, we bring the deal flow, relationships, and execution support you need.
Proprietary Deal Sourcing
Direct outreach to technology company founders who aren't publicly listed for sale. Our relationships and reputation open doors that cold outreach cannot.
Target Identification & Screening
We build custom target lists based on your acquisition criteria -- sector, revenue range, geography, growth profile, technology stack -- and pre-screen every opportunity.
Market Mapping
Comprehensive landscape analysis of your target vertical. We identify every potential acquisition opportunity in a sector so you can prioritize with conviction.
Founder Introductions
Warm, trusted introductions to company founders and operators. Our sell-side reputation means founders take our calls and trust our introductions.
Transaction Support
From initial conversations through LOI and closing, we support the full transaction lifecycle. Valuation guidance, deal structuring, and negotiation advisory included.
Roll-Up & Platform Strategy
For acquirers building a platform through multiple acquisitions, we provide ongoing deal flow, integration assessment, and pipeline management across your thesis.
Buyer Profiles

Lower middle market PE firms seeking platform and add-on acquisitions in technology verticals.

How It Works
Our Buy-Side Process
Define Acquisition Criteria
We work with you to define your ideal target profile: sector, revenue range, margin requirements, geography, technology stack, growth trajectory, and deal structure preferences.
Proactive Outreach
We leverage our network of 2,373 trusted founders, our database of 702,000+ companies, and AI-driven targeting to identify companies that match your criteria -- including those not actively for sale.
Screening & Qualification
Every opportunity is pre-screened against your criteria. We assess financials, technology, team, market position, and seller motivation before bringing opportunities to you.
Introduction & Facilitation
We make warm introductions to founders and facilitate initial conversations. Our trusted relationships reduce friction and accelerate the path to meaningful dialogue.
Transaction Support
From LOI through close, we provide valuation guidance, deal structuring support, and negotiation advisory to help you secure the right deal at the right price.
Before you commit to anything
Ask us to put it in writing
We will build you a written buy-side proposal: the companies that fit your thesis, what the category has actually transacted at, how we would approach owners on your behalf, and the terms on which we would act. It costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
Not ready for a mandate
There is a lighter way in
Everything above describes a full origination programme. If you have a defined thesis and want proprietary conversations without retaining a firm for all of it, the Market Sprint is 3 weeks at a fixed $12,500: we write the mandate down properly, build a screened target list you approve, approach owners in your name, and hand you the conversations.

Buy the data instead
The buyer database behind our mandates is available on its own. Same records, same verification, without an engagement. Run your own process, or test appetite before committing to one.
These are products of PEStore.com, our financial-buyer database. A full advisory engagement with FIH remains success-fee only, with no retainer and nothing payable before closing. Buying data never becomes a condition of representation.
