Find Targets

There’s value beyond the balance sheet.

When it comes to sub-scale software acquisitions, it’s about capabilities, not financials. Basis State digs a level below the financials to understand the value that a piece of software can create in the hands of an acquirer. That’s how we find a good fit and a fair valuation.

100% focused on sub-scale software.

Generating demand for strategic assets is unique in its scale, scope and strategic importance.
The right tool for the job needs the following:

No Stone Unturned

For most M&A initiatives, you are looking for just one perfect yes. And that answer can come from surprising places. The thoroughness of prospecting is critically important.

Use Case is Everything

Strategic acquisitions are all about the acquirer’s individual plans for the asset. We begin every engagement by defining use cases and creating talking points, prospect lists, and valuations that drive off of those use cases.

Big Decisions Require Data

Our prospects quickly move past the glossy marketing and want data. We create an online environment with the information they need to move from awareness to consideration.

Proprietary tools designed specifically for the job.

Basis State has assembled a set of tools designed specifically for M&A demand generation. They include:

Positioning Methodology

A fully-documented segmentation methodology that has been tested across multiple offerings.

Interface with deep dive materials
