How the investor model works

What does SilverShore do for investors?+
SilverShore is a boutique buy-side M&A advisory firm. We provide deal origination, deal intelligence, initial diligence support, and portfolio operating support for private equity firms and qualified acquirers. See investor services.
How does thesis-matched sourcing work?+
You share sector, size, geography, structure, and the operating profile you can improve. Opportunities are screened against that criteria before they reach you, then introduced blind first with operating context and no confidential source detail.
How do investors join the network?+
Complete the unified Network application. Share your acquisition criteria.
What qualifies for publication?+
An opportunity is published publicly only when its annual EBITDA is source-disclosed and falls within the $750,000 to below $25 million sourcing range. The public library shows selected source-backed profiles across ten sectors with disclosed gross revenue and annual EBITDA. Annual EBITDA is kept distinct from SDE, cash flow, and revenue. See the standard.
What does blind-first matching mean?+
A registered investor sees operating and financial context without source identity. Confidential detail moves only once both sides opt in, on a signed basis for confidentiality.
What happens after close?+
SilverShore works inside the portfolio company on management visibility, revenue systems, automation, growth, and readiness for the next transaction. See portfolio support.
Who qualifies?+
Private equity firms, acquirers, and sponsors pursuing businesses with source-disclosed annual EBITDA from $750,000 to below $25 million and gross annual revenue from $5 million to $150 million.
