Hi, we're Smash
Hi, we're Smash
And we love investing in profitable small business acquisitions.
If you're a self-funded searcher, search fund, acquiring an SMB, or a founder just looking to take chips off the table, we'd love to talk!
We are a minority-only equity partner.
We do not buy entire companies.

Our Beliefs
Business is the most enjoyable game in the world.
Profit first, growth comes second.
Free cash-flow trumps all.
Who we are:
We’re a group of individual investors who act as capital partners to entrepreneurs acquiring solid companies. Whether you’re a self-funded search fund pursuing the entrepreneurship-through-acquisition model, whether you’re acquiring a company with an SBA loan, or you want to sell a minority stake in your company to diversify your net worth… No matter, we’d love to chat.
We aren’t venture capitalists hunting unicorns, we are not a fund with LPs, and we are not aiming for growth at all costs. Instead, it is best to think of Smash as an experienced potential long-term partner for you and your business, focused on a healthy work-life balance and a profit-first mentality.
We are happy to partner with any business that meets our criteria, from a growing SaaS, to a local towing company.
Note* we do not invest in unprofitable startups. We are not a VC firm.
Types of deals we invest in
- Self-funded searchers using SBA financing
- Minority equity sales from owners
- Traditional search funds
- Independent sponsors
- Partner buyouts
How we work:
After finding the ideal opportunity, we write the check, offer to bring in our experienced marketers to help the business grow (only if you want), and then stay out of your way and let you do what you do best: run the business how you see fit.
We can work with original founders, those looking to acquire a business, or someone looking for a co-investor for SBA funding. We’re flexible as long as the company is solid and generates cash.
