About Overture
Overture is a vertically integrated, AI-native marketplace for SME acquisitions. We provide an end-to-end platform featuring listing, valuation, deal rooms, SBA pre-qualification, and capital formation. Think of us as the "TurboTax of business exits," specifically aimed at the baby boomer succession wave—a market consisting of millions of businesses, most of which currently lack a succession plan.
Who we are:
- Founding team with a decade of experience in fintech.
- Previously backed by Pantera Capital.
- Platform is close to MVP, with a pilot structured around ~$5M businesses.
- Fundraise is timed to our first deal reaching a purchase agreement.
- In advanced discussions with a top Los Angeles law firm to handle sell-side contracts, with one partner already serving as an advisor.
The Role
As the Founding President/COO, you will run sell-side execution on our pilot transactions from engagement through close. You will also play a key role in shaping how deal mechanics are productized into the platform. This is a true co-founder position involving strategy and fundraising presence.
Requirements
- Experience: Deep sell-side M&A or Investment Banking experience, ideally within the lower middle market ($1M–$25M deals).
- Execution: Comfortable running a transaction hands-on with minimal support.
- Qualifications: At least one of the following is required:
- Fundraising experience.
- An existing broker or intermediary network you can bring along.
- M&A licensing (Series 79/63 or state broker license is a strong plus).
- Mindset: A builder's temperament.
Priorities
- Deal supply is our current priority.
