Why FIH
A Different Kind of Advisory Firm
We combine the rigor of institutional M&A with the personal attention founders deserve. Every engagement is led by a senior advisor from day one.
Founder-First Approach
Our practice is built around the founder's outcome. Every engagement is structured to protect your interests, maximize your valuation, and ensure you retain control of the process.
Complete Confidentiality
Your business is never listed publicly. All buyer engagement happens through our proprietary network under NDA.
Competitive Dynamics
We run structured processes that create competitive tension among qualified buyers, driving valuations above what founders achieve alone.
15,600+ Buyer Network
Strategic acquirers, PE firms, search funds, and family offices across 27 countries. Over 9,000 NDAs signed since 2020. We match you with the right buyer, not just any buyer.
Premium Valuations
Across 79 engagements since 2020, our average client prices at 2.76x revenue and 7.71x profit. Structured processes and competitive dynamics drive premium outcomes.
Technology Specialists
We focus exclusively on technology companies: SaaS, eCommerce, digital media, AI, and related verticals. Deep domain expertise means better outcomes.

A Note on Growth Capital & Fundraising
FIH.com is a sell-side M&A advisory firm. We do not provide capital raising, placement agent, or investment banking services related to the issuance of securities. We do not solicit, broker, or structure equity or debt financing transactions.
That said, through our advisory activities we maintain an extensive network of institutional investors, family offices, venture capital firms, and private equity groups across the technology sector. We are well-positioned to understand which capital providers are actively deploying, what their mandate parameters look like, and where thesis alignment may exist.
If you are a founder seeking growth equity, venture capital, or other forms of institutional capital and believe there may be alignment with counterparties in our network, we are happy to facilitate introductions on a referral basis. We ask that you prepare a current pitch deck and a summary of your capital requirements so we can assess fit before making any introductions.
To discuss a potential capital introduction, please schedule a consultation and note that your inquiry relates to fundraising. There is no fee for introductions.
