OffDeal

Big product update at OffDeal! 🎉 Over the past 60 days, we spoke with 𝟑𝟎𝟎+ 𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬 considering a sale. Three truths stood out: ✅ Every owner had heard from a handful of potential buyers. ❌ None knew the actual size of their buyer pool (hint: it’s in the 𝐡𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐬). ❌ None knew how to create a true bidding environment to drive their price higher. This was a huge “aha!” moment for me. On Wall Street, when we worked on billion-dollar deals, we knew every buyer by heart—there were always just a few dozen. But for smaller businesses, the marketplace is infinitely more fragmented. There are hundreds of private equity firms, independent sponsors, family offices, and corporate acquirers who might love your business. Problem is, they don’t know that business is considering a sale—and the owner doesn’t know they exist. We asked ourselves: How can we bring the kind of buyer intelligence once reserved for billion-dollar deals to Main Street businesses? So we built 𝐎𝐟𝐟𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐥’𝐬 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐀𝐈 𝐛𝐮𝐲𝐞𝐫 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐥.. Think of it like a supercharged M&A analyst that, in seconds, surfaces not just a few potential buyers, but every single company that’s relevant—giving owners a complete map of their potential suitors. Over the past few weeks, 𝟏,𝟎𝟎𝟎+ 𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬 tested our beta and collectively identified 𝟐𝟓𝟎,𝟎𝟎𝟎+ 𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐛𝐮𝐲𝐞𝐫𝐬 for their companies! 🤯 Of course, getting a fast, comprehensive view of the entire buyer universe is only the first step to realizing the full value of a business owner’s life’s work. At OffDeal, our expert M&A advisors take care of the rest—discreetly engaging these buyers, managing due diligence, and helping close on the best possible terms. 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠. We’re on a mission to empower small business owners with the same strategic advantages that once belonged exclusively to billion-dollar corporations. Over the coming decade, more than $10 trillion worth of small businesses will change hands. Our goal is to shape that future—delivering world-class M&A insights, tools, and support to every independent entrepreneur who’s ready to write their next chapter. If you’re a small business owner—or know one—who might be curious about how this works—whether you’re selling soon or just exploring your options—try out tool at www.offdeal.io or DM me. Let’s take your exit strategy to a whole new level. 🚀

I am thrilled to announce that OffDeal raised $4.7M in seed funding to build a new kind of bank 🎉 We're building an AI-native investment bank, offering small business owners a faster, cheaper way to sell their companies at premium prices. Our AI technology automates most of the grunt work typically done by analysts at larger Wall Street banks, enabling our in-house M&A advisors to focus more on strategic client interactions, leading to better outcomes for both sellers and buyers. Nearly half of all small businesses in the U.S. – 12M companies driving 45% of our GDP – are owned by baby boomers. With the average boomer at 69 today and the last hitting retirement age by 2030, some $10T worth of companies will change hands over the next decade. Yet, over 80% of small business deals occur without an advisor, resulting in lower sale prices, broken deals, and dragged-out cycles. Most owners lack access to the M&A advice they deserve. At OffDeal, our purpose is to empower business owners to realize the full value of their life's work and to promote American entrepreneurship. We want to become the "Goldman Sachs for SMBs" - a gold standard and go-to for top-tier quality financial services for the backbone of the American economy. 👉 Interested in learning more or exploring how we can help your business?
