For founders
A permanent home for the company you built.
If you are considering a sale, AmTech HQ offers an alternative to a fund or a strategic acquirer: a long-term owner with no exit clock, a central back office that lifts the operational burden from your team, and certainty of close. Your company keeps building. What changes is everything around the product.
Why sell to AmTech HQ
A different kind of owner.
A private-equity firm answers to a fund timeline and a strategic acquirer answers to a roadmap that is not yours. We answer to neither. We hold for the long term and operate the businesses we own.
A permanent home, no fund clock
A private-equity buyer holds for a fund cycle and then sells you to the next owner. We are a privately held operating company, not a fund, and we acquire companies to keep them. There is no predetermined timeline forcing a second transaction, no flip, and no pressure to engineer an exit on someone else's schedule.
Your team keeps building
A strategic acquirer often absorbs a product into its own roadmap and disperses the team that created it. We keep the operating company intact and let it continue to serve its customers and ship its product. The people who built the business remain the people who run it, under leadership that understands the work.
The back-office burden lifted
On close, common back-office functions fold into AmTech HQ's central shared-services organization: human resources, accounting, marketing, IT, legal, and procurement. Your team stops carrying those costs alone and gains corporate operating standards from day one, for a recurring management fee expressed as a tier or a share of revenue.
Certainty of close
We pursue businesses we intend to own and we move with discipline once we engage. Diligence is structured, the structure is agreed early, and the path to signing is clear. For a founder weighing a process, certainty of close is worth as much as headline price, and we treat it that way.
What we look for
The conditions that signal fit.
The figures below are representative ranges rather than hard cutoffs. Fit and structure are best established in conversation; the criteria describe what tends to make a strong fit, not a checklist that disqualifies on a single line.
Sector fit
Your company operates in one of the seventeen technology sectors AmTech HQ owns and operates, from enterprise SaaS to health and life sciences tech. Fit with an existing thesis matters more than size.
Stage and scale
We acquire profitable or near-profitable businesses. A representative floor is in the range of $2M–$5M+ in annual recurring revenue, not a hard cutoff.
Business model
Recurring or contracted revenue is strongly preferred, with durable margins and demonstrated retention. We favor predictable economics over rapid, unprofitable growth.
Ownership offered
We are open to whole-company acquisitions, majority recapitalizations, or the carve-out of a single division or product line. The right structure depends on the company and the founder's goals.
Operational readiness
You are willing to fold common back-office functions into AmTech HQ's central shared-services organization and to operate under corporate KPI standards and a recurring management fee after close.
Geography
US-based companies are preferred, though location is not by itself disqualifying for the right business.
Clean cap table and financials
A clean capitalization table and financial records available for diligence are expected. Fit and structure are best established before a deal rather than discovered after it.
