Kiya gets business owners to the table for independent sponsors, PE platforms, and strategic acquirers. Run by an operator who built, sold, and bought.
Book an intro callEveryone has the list. Nobody has the meeting.
The best deals are off-market. Every buyer knows it.
Every buyer runs the same public databases. So everyone chases the same crowded pool of companies. Those owners get ten cold calls a week. And the owners you want most aren’t on any list.
Figures: publicly published acquisition outreach benchmarks (CT Acquisitions).
Trust is the product.
See beyond the databases
Start with custom signals and records that bridge your investment thesis and the owner conversation.
Reach owners like a human
No email blasts. We pick up the phone and send real letters. Owners answer the channels everyone else abandoned.
Earn the meeting
Every call run by a founder, who sold, and knows the fears that come with it. This gets owners to the table.
You get qualified, serious owners at the table.
We keep the client list small on purpose. A handful of sponsors, platforms, and operating companies. No juniors, no offshore callers, no hundred-logo roster.
I spent years building a digital services firm to seven figures. Which means I spent years taking buyer cold calls. Scripts, blasts, “quick question about your business.” I hung up on all of them.
Last year I sold the company. Then I switched chairs and became the acquirer. I sourced and closed three deals. Every one off-market. No brokers, no auctions.
Both sides taught me the same thing. A sale is an owner handing over their life’s work. Most buyers treat that moment like a pipeline stage. Owners feel it. They shut down. And the best deals never happen.
Kiya exists for that one moment. We use modern tools to find companies nobody else sees. But the part that matters stays human. When an owner picks up, they hear someone who has been them. Someone who knows the pride and the fear in that decision. That is why they take the meeting.
Our team stays small on purpose. We take a few buyers and go deep.
If your pipeline is full of contacts and empty of deals, I get it. Let’s fix that.
