How it works.
No pressure, no obligation, no engagement letter on day one. Just a clear, four-step path from a legacy-run business to a multiple-ready one — and the outcome you have spent decades earning.
Onboarding measured in days, not quarters.
Each side of the platform — founder, acquirer, advisor, vendor — follows the same four-step rhythm. The graph does the rest.
- 01
Request access.
Tell us your role — founder, acquirer, advisor, vendor. Approved accounts are provisioned within 24 hours with a tenant-isolated workspace.
- 02
Calibrate the graph.
Run the AI assessment (founder) or set your mandate (acquirer). The ML calibrates against your sector before any matching kicks off.
- 03
Match, room, close.
Anonymized matches surface in your inbox. Mutual interest opens a secure room. LOI, escrow, and success-fee math execute end-to-end.
- 04
Feed the loop.
Every closing publishes back to the comp graph. Sector intelligence sharpens. The next match — yours or someone else's — gets smarter.
Aligned economics. Transparent fees.
Rainmaker only wins when a deal closes or a vendor engagement delivers. Fee schedules, success-fee math, and compliance gates are visible end-to-end — no surprise invoices, no buried economics.
Capital-efficient onramp.
Standard tier launches your workspace without retainers or upfront seat fees. Pay on value — vendor engagements, success fees on close, or premium intelligence tier.
Aligned success fees.
Modern Lehman success-fee schedule runs automatically at closing. M&A Broker exemption snapshot freezes on signature for auditable compliance.
Growth-equity option.
Select operators qualify for a CyberGen co-investment — equity-aligned operational lift instead of a consulting bill. Available by invitation post-assessment.
Fee terms documented per engagement. Subject to platform M&A Broker exemption thresholds.
From signal to signed close.
Four stages. One graph. The same ML powers every step — so what you see in your assessment is what acquirers see when they shortlist.
- 01 · Assess
Quantify the business.
AI ingests financials, ops, customer signals. Out comes an evidence-backed readiness score plus a 7-dimension scorecard buyers actually trust.
- 02 · Match
ML-driven counterparty search.
Anonymized listings scored against thousands of buyer mandates. Daily and weekly digests surface only fits above your threshold.
- 03 · Diligence
Secure deal rooms.
Mutual NDA gating, RLS-enforced document access, real-time chat, LOI revision tracking, and AI-summarized evidence packs.
- 04 · Close
Execute and capture.
Closing tracker drives escrow events, success-fee math runs Modern Lehman automatically, every closing publishes back to the comp graph.
The next great deal is a match away.
Approved accounts onboard in 24 hours. No retainers. No banker tour. Just the connection machine pointed at your best counterparty.
