Dealwise helps startups with $1M-$10M in annual revenues get acquired. We run a confidential process to get you offers from strategic & financial buyers in half the time of traditional M&A advisors and without locking you into multi-year exclusivity contracts.
Hey Product Hunt! We're Ayan and Jason, the cofounders of Dealwise. We're excited to launch Dealwise, the AI-powered M&A advisor for startups 🚀
We built Dealwise to tackle a problem we saw one of our YC batchmates experience: there just isn't a good way for founders of software startups with $1m to $10m in revenue to find an exit. Investment banks won't work with businesses under $10m in revenue. Marketplaces like Flippa and Acquire are great for selling businesses under $1m, but not so great for maximizing your exit. Strategic buyers aren't sitting on a marketplace all day.
Dealwise helps you sell your business from start to finish -- identifying and reaching out to financial and strategic buyers, negotiation, loan pre-qualification, and escrow. We use AI to identify more relevant buyers than typical M&A advisors, making sure we leave no stone unturned. In just three months, we have one deal closed and two more under offer.
Happy to answer any questions in the comments.
It’s great to see that AI assistants can now advise on M&A transactions. The market is seeing an increase in AI-powered products. I may seek advice from one.It's great to see an increase in AI-powered products, such as those that can advise on M&A transactions. I may seek advice from one.
Congratulations on the launch! I would like to discuss a potential partnership with you. How can I contact you?
Hi, I spent some time at VC myself and I can totally relate to the exit problem you are trying to solve! Does Dealwise act like an investment banker who takes % commission based on the deals closed or more like a marketplace platform for matching demands and supplies ?
Congrats! Interesting service! Exciting angle since it’s hard for investment banks to compete on this segment!
Congrats on the launch! Given the advisory component, curious if your company is a registered BD / regulated like a traditional M&A practice?
Congratulations to Dealwise. I love this use of AI and hope to use your services someday.
Sounds very interesting. Are there any specific industries or types of startups that Dealwise specializes in, or is it suitable for startups across various sectors?
Congratulations Ayan and Jason on this launch. I like it that you’re doing the heavy lifting and a disciplined approach to the analysis for start up founders. It’s tough enough to do all the work to keep things running and nice to have a tool to help you figure out what are your options on exit. Steve
This is really interesting and I can see it helps so many small medium tech businesses. The deal market is usually in-transparent and owners who sell for the first time lacks legal experience. Having a tool like this helps them fill the gap in information and not get disadvantage at the deal table.
What are some of the interesting insights you got from actually helping your client go through deals? Curious to learn your observations.
Love this idea! Could see a consulting management firm want to buy YOU guys ;) Congrats on the launch!
