I had known about Acquire.com for a long time and always thought, this is a marketplace that actually does things the right way. That said, based on the size of companies I typically build, I assumed it was more geared toward micro-acquisitions and not really a fit for me.

With my most recent exit, I decided to take a chance and list anyway, and man... I’m extremely glad I did.

We listed in May 2025 and were quickly introduced to Ky, one of Acquire’s senior advisors. Early on, things moved fast: strong interest, nearly a dozen offers, and real momentum. We ultimately selected an offer that required SBA financing, and from there, almost everything that could go wrong did.

This was my third acquisition, and despite having been through the process before, this one tested me in ways I didn’t expect. SBA deals are brutal, delays compound, and setbacks become mentally exhausting very quickly. What no one really talks about is how emotionally taxing that stretch can be for founders.

The constant throughout all of it was Ky.

Professionally, he was exactly what you’d hope for: keeping the deal alive when things stalled, pushing through obstacles, and making sure momentum never fully died. But what truly set him apart was how personally invested he was in my well-being. He didn’t just “do his job.” He showed up like a brother or a close friend would. He called on weekends, checked in late at night, making sure I was okay mentally and emotionally, and helped me talk through the stress when things felt overwhelming.

That level of care is rare. And it’s priceless.

I’ve seen a handful of one-star reviews mentioning that Acquire is “expensive.” I couldn’t disagree more. When you factor in not just execution, but advocacy, emotional support, and someone genuinely having your back through one of the most stressful events a founder can go through, the value is undeniable.

I give Acquire.com my highest recommendation and will be referring founders of all company sizes without hesitation. This was a hard deal, but it would have been far harder without them.

Truly the best acquisition platform I’ve ever worked with.
