## You didn't build a great career to spend your nights scrolling listing sites.

Another Tuesday night. Another forty open tabs of listings you've already seen twice.

An NDA that took a week to come back, for a business making half what the listing promised.

A spreadsheet named SEARCH\_FINAL\_v4 that even you don't trust anymore.

A seller who accepted another offer before you'd ever seen his face.

And everyone at work still thinks you're happy there.

## You've scrolled past a thousand businesses. One of them might have been The One.

You just couldn't see it yet. That's not a deal flow problem. **It's a filtering problem.**

## Two ways to run the same search

![A desk split in two: chaos of printouts on one side, one clean laptop and folder on the other](https://acquimatch.com/hubfs/ChatGPT%20Image%20Sep%2014%2c%202026%2c%2012_12_01%20PM%20(3).png)

The old way

### On your own

- Scroll every listing site, every night
- Judge businesses by their listings, and miss the gems hiding behind bad broker marketing
- Spend weekends on numbers you can't verify
- Get passed over while brokers hand the good deals to buyers they trust
- Run your search from a spreadsheet
- Finally find one, and freeze, because nobody told you what happens next

The AcquiMatch way

### Matched

- The deals that fit you land in your pipeline, with why they fit YOU
- A filtering system that sees past bad marketing and spots the diamond in the rough
- You know what it's really worth, and what to offer, in 20 minutes
- Show up as the buyer brokers and sellers choose
- Your whole search in one place
- Know exactly what to do the moment you see it, all the way to the closing table

## The One is out there right now. You're just not seeing it.AcquiMatch is how you find it, and how you win it.

## What your search feels like when it's working.

Tuesday night is yours again. The matches found you while you were at dinner.

You open one screen and know exactly what to work on today.

You pass on a bad deal in 15 minutes and never think about it again.

A broker calls YOU back, because you read like a buyer worth choosing.

And one morning, you're standing in the doorway holding the keys.

From our founder

Athena Simpson

Founder & CEO, AcquiMatch. A searcher herself.

## The best owner doesn't win. The best buyer does.

01**25+ years** as an entrepreneur, advisor, and educator. Built **five companies**

02Advised **startups, the Fortune 500, FTSE 100 companies, and government entities**

03Taught **entrepreneurship at UT Austin's McCombs** School of Business

04Raised **$3 million in 5 days** to pursue her own acquisition

Her own search taught her the rule the industry doesn't say out loud: businesses don't go to the person best suited to run them. They go to the buyer best prepared to win them. **AcquiMatch makes you both.**

Jake, Business Broker

"For the first time, I felt like I was in control, taking the reins and deciding what to pursue based on who we actually are."

## Is this you?

This is for you if

### Yes

- This is your first business acquisition
- You plan to take an active hand in running the business you buy. Leading it, not necessarily being on the tools
- You have at least $100,000 to invest in an acquisition
- Your credit is in good shape and an SBA loan is on the table, or you can finance without one
- You've built a real career: corporate, your own company, or client work
- You're done just thinking about it and want to move this year

This is not for you if

### No

- You've bought a business before, or you're a fund buying at volume. This is built for first-timers

## Stop scrolling. Start matching. Buy The One.
