For founders
Parachute is the broker and advisor of record. The software is how you see and control the transaction — not another tool you have to operate yourself.
When founders call us
Someone said "maybe we should explore options." You need a real read on who would buy, at what number, and how long it takes — before it becomes a runway conversation.
One interested party is not a process. Parachute builds the competition around that inbound, which is usually the difference between the first number and the final one.
Eleven months is a process. Four is a fire sale. Parachute starts by telling you honestly which one you are in.
Acquihires and team-led outcomes are structured differently. Retention, severance and roles get negotiated as hard as price.
What you get
Positioning, value drivers, risks and an indicative range before outreach.
20–120 researched buyers with fit scoring and strategic rationale.
Per-buyer settings from anonymous teaser to direct outreach.
What happened, what needs you, what we're doing, what's next.
Cash, rollover, earnout, retention, conditions and certainty side by side.
One Managing Director who negotiates and attends every call.
Fees
A modest monthly work fee during the process and a success fee at close. No fee for the initial deal brief, and no long-term exclusivity on advice you haven't received yet.
