Buy-Side Origination
Build the acquisition pipeline you want.
Risegate runs targeted, direct-to-owner acquisition searches for private equity firms and strategic buyers.
What a Search Includes
One mandate. One search. Six workstreams.
Market Mapping
Build the relevant acquisition universe around the thesis.
Target Prioritization
Identify the companies most closely aligned with the acquisition criteria.
Owner Engagement
Create direct, confidential conversations with founders and owners.
Opportunity Development
Qualify interest and develop opportunities over time.
Transaction Support
Support owner conversations as appropriate through the early transaction process.
Platform Searches
Establishing a position in a new market.
We map the market around your thesis and engage the owners of businesses that can anchor a platform: sufficient scale, a defensible local position and an owner willing to have a private conversation.
Add-On Searches
Expanding an existing platform.
We work from the platform's footprint and service lines to find tuck-ins that fit geographically and operationally, then run continuous outreach so the pipeline stays full between closings.
Selected Sectors
Where we work.
- Business Services
- Industrial Services
- HVAC & Mechanical
- Facility Services
- Building Products & Distribution

Our searches are mandate-driven rather than limited to these sectors.
