Footbridge Partners
At a Glance
Read the criteria first: this is one of the few on the shelf that tells you the deal size it wants.
- Pricing
- Custom Pricing, Investment terms, not fees. Nothing about ownership, carry or the split is published on its own site.
- Best For
- A traditional searcher who wants to know the size and shape of deal a backer is actually looking for before writing to them
- Roadmap Stages
- 1. Learn & Choose Your Path3. Set Up & Fund the Search
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Publishes its criteria as numbers, at $1.5M to $7M of EBITDA in growing fragmented niches with recurring revenue, which most of this shelf does not
- Names its portfolio: nine operating companies, three searches under way and two realized exits, one of them the founders' own original search
- Says plainly that it takes on three or four new entrepreneurs a year, so a reader can weigh the odds rather than guess them
Cons
- Publishes no ownership, carry or fee terms anywhere on its own site
- Its own stated pace of three or four a year makes it a long shot for most readers
- The newest dated item on the site is a team arrival from April 2024, so the portfolio cannot be checked for currency from the site alone
What Searchers Say
