For over a decade, we've been partnering with founders to give them quick, straightforward exits that protect their team and culture and keep their businesses operating for the longterm.
After months of negotiation you’re usually left with a bunch of legal fees and no deal.
If you’re really lucky and your deal closes, your bank balance gets a whole lot bigger… then you get to watch the new owners wreck the business you spent your life building.
After going through it way too many times ourselves, we started Freedom to become the buyer we wish we could have sold to.
That means fair, fast, and founder friendly deals.
"I was extremely pleased with how smooth a transition the acquisition was for our team and the community. Zero disruption and a seamless passing of the torch to Freedom."
Dan Cederholm
"I was impressed by Andrew's very methodical and unwavering thesis to growing Freedom's shareholding in Buffer. They were very clear about their valuation mindset .
