Five mandates. One operating system.

Every Parachute mandate runs on the same platform and the same discipline: software does the analyst work, a named deal lead does the judgment.

01

Acquihires

Find strategic buyers for teams and talent before runway disappears.

Team-led outcomes are won on speed and framing. Parachute maps acquirers actively hiring against your team's exact skill profile, positions the group rather than the company, and negotiates offer packages, retention and severance protection alongside the purchase price.

  • Typical timeline 6–10 weeks
  • Buyer universe of 40–120 acquirers
  • Team-first structuring
02

Strategic exits

Run competitive $2M–$30M sale processes for venture-backed companies.

A real process, not an introduction. Positioning and indicative range before outreach, a researched buyer universe, staged confidentiality, a live pipeline, structured diligence, and a side-by-side comparison of every offer received.

  • Typical timeline 10–20 weeks
  • 3–6 competing parties targeted
  • Full process management
03

Product + IP acquisitions

Sell technology, patents, products, customer contracts or other strategic assets.

Not every company sells whole. Parachute carves out the asset, models what stays behind, identifies buyers who need exactly that capability, and runs the transfer of contracts, code, IP and the people who maintain it.

  • Asset carve-out modelling
  • Contract assignment management
  • Transition services drafting
04

Startup-to-startup M&A

Help startups acquire other startups without building an internal corp dev team.

First acquisitions fail on process, not thesis. Parachute writes the thesis with you, builds and ranks the target universe, opens the conversations, and runs diligence to a standard your board and investors will accept.

  • Thesis development
  • Target sourcing and ranking
  • Diligence execution
05

Buy-side corp dev

Give funded startups an outsourced acquisition team.

An ongoing mandate rather than a single deal. Continuous market coverage, a maintained target list with live signals, warm relationships kept alive, and a deal lead ready when a target becomes actionable.

  • Retained mandate
  • Live target monitoring
  • Deal lead on call
