Building a family of fantastic businesses.
We provide founder-friendly liquidity & investments — then get out of your way so you can run the company.
Why join the Medley family of businesses?
Selling your company (even a piece!) can be terrifying. It’s one of the few ways to extract the value you’ve built, but the process of negotiating, closing a deal, and integrating can be brutal. Then after all that, the new owner may slowly destroy what you’ve carefully built for years.
Your business is an extension of you — its core values probably mimic yours as an individual. We never want to change that DNA. Instead, we want to offer exit paths that we would have loved as founders, and keep your fantastic business running smoothly for the long term.

Businesses that are a great fit
We want to be the right fit for you and your company. We look for profitable businesses with at least a few years of operations.
Why sell in these conditions? You might be growing but not hitting exponential scale; you may have employees or partners who want to cash out; you may simply want to use the money. But you still want someone to give a damn about what you’ve built.
Closing and diligence
Do you just love paying a lot of unnecessary legal fees? Yeah, we don’t either. We keep the acquisition process focused on what matters, and try to close quickly and easily.
We love when founders want to continue running the company post-close — you know your business, and we want you to keep doing what you’re doing. That said, we won’t tether you with golden handcuffs or equity that may never realize its value. Part of what makes founders great is their love for the gig, not grinding for a few more dollars.
Our goal is to find fantastic businesses, then let them keep running: no integration, restructuring, or new goals. If you love your job, keep doing it! But with more cash-in-hand.
