Foundy is a UK-based company aiming to modernize the mergers and acquisitions landscape for startups and SMEs. The company was established in 2018 by Joe Lewin, who serves as the CEO. His experience in founding, scaling, and selling his own tech-enabled marketplace, coupled with his M&A studies at Imperial College and the University of Birmingham, informed Foundy's mission to address the inefficiencies, high costs, and lack of transparency in traditional M&A processes.
The firm operates an all-in-one digital platform that connects business owners with a global network of buyers and investors, including private equity funds, search funds, and corporate development teams. Foundy serves clients across the UK, US, and parts of Europe, providing tools and advisory services to streamline the entire deal lifecycle, from exit planning and valuation to due diligence and deal completion. The platform is designed to reduce the time and costs associated with transactions, claiming to be up to 70% cheaper than traditional brokers. Revenue is generated through a B2B SaaS model, with subscription-based access to its platform and a success fee upon deal completion.
For sellers, Foundy offers tools like Exit Readiness Reports, AI-powered valuations, data room preparation, and buyer matchmaking. Buyers gain access to a curated deal flow of profitable businesses, primarily in the SaaS, eCommerce, and Web3 sectors, along with tools to manage due diligence and post-acquisition integration. The platform also facilitates fundraising, allowing businesses to connect with over 800 lenders and equity investors to raise capital for acquisitions, working capital, or growth. A key feature is its community, which connects founders with exited entrepreneurs and M&A experts for guidance. The company secured £1.25 million in a seed round led by Fuel Ventures in 2022 to expand its team and international presence.
