Let’s make sure it lasts.
When Tesani shows up, it means something. Tesani acquires and grows founder-led businesses with care, integrity, and vision.
You didn’t build your company to flip it. You built it to matter.
Now you’re thinking about what comes next. Not just for you, but for your team, your legacy, your name on the door. Selling should feel like forward motion, not a finish line. That’s how we think about it.
That’s what a Tesani partnership means.
We protect what’s working
Your people. Your culture. Your way of doing things. With Tesani, founders don’t disappear: they evolve.
No games, decks, or posturing
Just direct conversations and clear offers.
A different kind of exit
We’ve sat where you sit, and we treat your legacy like we’d treat our own.
We don’t back many. But when we do, we go all in.
We’re not looking for hype. We’re looking for the kind of business most investors overlook—until it's undeniable. Profitable, proven businesses built with care. Led by founders who still show up.
Profitable and principled
You’re not just surviving—you’re generating real cash flow with strong fundamentals.
Built to endure
Recurring revenue, loyal customers, and operational depth. No gimmicks. Just staying power.
Led by founders who still show up
You’re not coasting. You still care. And it shows.
Quiet standouts
Not always loud or trendy, but mission-critical for your customers.
Clear and understandable
A business model you can explain in one breath. Simplicity is a strength.
Resilient through cycles
Three or more years of consistent performance with no major volatility.
Operational integrity
Clean books. Smart systems. Thoughtful leadership.
Open to the right partner
You didn’t build this to sell. But the right partner at the right time? That’s worth considering.

model
Dilutive, with board control
Control transfers to firm
You stay involved where it matters. We steward the rest.

Often restructure or cut costs
Your team. Your culture. We protect what’s working.
IPO or flip
Flip within 3–5 years
We think in decades, not deadlines. Long-term alignment over exits.
The few we back, we back fully.
Tesani backs cash-flowing service companies in fragmented industries where we can create value through tech, culture, and operational rigor. See why they chose Tesani, and what we’ve built together. These aren’t just companies. They’re legacies we’re proud to steward.
Entrepreneurs at heart
We don’t chase trends. We build for legacy. Tesani was founded by entrepreneurs who believe great companies don’t need flash: just fundamentals, values, and vision.
If you’re one of the few we back, you’ll know why. Let’s talk—no pressure, just a real conversation.
