Why Sell to MicroTek Ventures?
Founders who have built payment SaaS businesses have more options than they think — and fewer good ones than they deserve. Here's how we compare.
Us vs. Private Equity Firms
Private Equity Firms
- ✗Minimum deal sizes of $5M–$10M+ ARR exclude most founders
- ✗Earnouts that create conflict and rarely pay out as modeled
- ✗Financial engineering and cost-cutting as the primary value creation strategy
- ✗Exit-oriented: they plan to sell again in 3–5 years
- ✗Unfamiliar with payment-specific compliance and infrastructure nuance
MicroTek Ventures
We acquire at any ARR scale, close clean with no earnouts, and operate the business for the long haul.
Us vs. Business Brokers
Business Brokers
- ✗Paid to maximize deal count, not your outcome
- ✗Buyer pool is largely financial buyers unfamiliar with payment tech
- ✗Process takes 12–18 months on average
- ✗Sellers often left managing their own due diligence
- ✗Fee structures misalign incentives
MicroTek Ventures
We are the buyer, not an intermediary. No listing fees, no auction process, no strangers touring your business.
Us vs. Strategic / Corporate Buyers
Strategic / Corporate Buyers
- ✗Lengthy internal approval processes (6–18 months)
- ✗Integration risk: your product gets absorbed or shut down
- ✗Your team often displaced post-acquisition
- ✗Deals subject to board and legal review at every stage
- ✗Culture mismatch between startup and enterprise
MicroTek Ventures
We move in 90 days, keep your product independent, and protect your team. No bureaucracy.
Common Reasons Founders Choose Us
You want certainty
You've spent years building. You don't want a process that drags on, falls through, or renegotiates at the finish line. We fund from our balance sheet and mean what we say.
You want speed
From initial conversation to close in approximately 90 days. Life is short. Your next chapter doesn't have to wait 18 months.
You want your team protected
Your employees helped build what you're selling. We have a strong track record of retaining teams and honoring the culture founders created.
You're too small for traditional buyers
PE firms need scale to justify their infrastructure. Strategics want market share. We're specifically looking for the smaller payment SaaS businesses they all walk past.
You want someone who understands the business
Explaining payment rails, ISO relationships, or interchange optimization to a generalist buyer is exhausting. We already know. You can speak plainly.
