The Buyer

A leading national provider of managed IT, cybersecurity, and cloud solutions — backed by a growth-focused private equity firm with a 50+ year track record in the middle market. The platform takes a security-first, integrated approach to managed IT delivery and has an established history of successful add-on acquisitions in technology services.

The buyer is founder-friendly and operationally experienced, with senior leadership that has decades of hands-on experience across managed services, security, and cloud — and a track record of collaborating effectively with founders and owner-operators.

Acquisition Focus Areas

This buyer is actively seeking U.S.-based businesses operating in the following technology service categories:

  • Managed IT — Full-service managed IT providers with SMB or mid-market customer bases
  • Managed Security — SOC-as-a-service, security monitoring, and managed SIEM/SOAR platforms
  • Cybersecurity Services — Broad cybersecurity advisory, implementation, and managed service capabilities
  • MDR / XDR — Managed detection and response, extended detection and response providers
  • GRC — Governance, risk, and compliance advisory and managed service businesses
  • Operational Technology — OT security and technology management in industrial or critical infrastructure environments
  • Red Team / Offensive Security — Penetration testing, adversary simulation, and offensive security capabilities
  • Blue Team / Defensive Security — Incident response, threat hunting, and defensive security operations

Ideal Seller Profile

This mandate is well-suited for owner-operators and founders who are looking to accelerate growth through a strategic partnership — not necessarily a full exit. The buyer is specifically seeking executives who want to take their platform to the next level with institutional backing, national reach, and operational resources behind them.

  • U.S.-based managed IT or cybersecurity business
  • Founder- or owner-operated, values-aligned leadership team
  • SMB-focused or mid-market customer base
  • $10M+ revenue
  • Operator seeking scale, capital, and capability expansion — not purely a liquidity event

“This buyer has a demonstrated playbook for growing managed IT and cybersecurity platforms — with multiple successful add-on acquisitions completed and a PE sponsor with 50+ years of middle market investment experience behind them. For the right operator, this is a rare opportunity to partner with a platform that has the capital, infrastructure, and national presence to accelerate what you have already built.”
