Find opportunities that fit the mandate
Criteria-matched off-market, pre-market, and on-market coverage alongside the brokers, bankers, and sourcing a firm already runs.
Boutique buy-side M&A advisory
Advisors to private equity on lower-middle-market acquisitions.
SilverShore Partners finds, evaluates, and advances acquisitions for private equity firms and qualified acquirers, with operating support that extends into the portfolio after close.
The firm
A principal-led boutique for buy-side work
SilverShore Partners works with private equity firms first, and selectively with independent sponsors, family offices, and strategic acquirers, on lower-middle-market acquisitions. Mandates are led by founder and principal Shane Gardner, a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania.
Each mandate follows the same sequence: set the criteria, map the market, review qualified opportunities, prepare the first diligence pass, and support the decision. The firm's Deal Desk keeps every opportunity source-bound, so financial figures stay as the source stated them.
