There’s a Better Way to Sell Your Business
Work with Founders, sell to Founders.
Selling your SaaS company shouldn’t feel like a nightmare. Too often, founders are left tangled in endless negotiations, dealing with clueless buyers, or drowning in unnecessary complexity. Bankers demand hefty fees, endless due diligence burns cash, and just when you think the deal is done, last-minute cancellations pull the rug out from under you.
Nodestream is different; we’re founders too. Our process is straightforward, time- and cost-efficient, and founder-friendly.

✅ Better price.
❌ Expensive due diligence bills.
❌ Bespoke process laced with politics.
❌ Low odds of successful agreement.
❌ Might back out & copy your product.
❌ No longer your vision and culture.

About you

SaaS
We’re on the same page.
Why?
We focus on areas where we have deep expertise, with SaaS at our core. This focus allows us to offer strong support to founders seeking a new home for their ventures and gives us confidence in executing your vision after the acquisition.
Web or API
No mobile apps.
Why?
Web- or API-centric SaaS enables us to concentrate on managing a single “front door” experience for users while simultaneously streamlining our overall technical footprint. While we’re open to considering native apps, we have a strong preference for uniformity.
5K - 50K MRR
You’re not burdened by size.
Why?
We’re a small, disciplined team aligned with companies that share our DNA. This revenue range offers proven demand without the bureaucracy. Great liquidity options at this level are rare— we’re here to be the trusted choice for founders in this space.
1%-100% YoY Growth
You’re not shrinking.
Why?
We’re committed to advancing a vision that’s actively gaining traction in the market. While growth challenges can stem from various factors, we believe the founder is best positioned to stabilize and drive growth before a transition.
3+ Years in business
You’ve been around the block.
Why?
Founders are essential in guiding a company through its early years. We believe the first few years are critical for laying the foundation, and once a business has grown and stabilized, we’re best equipped to build on those proven practices.
Profitable
You’re making money.
Why?
We focus on acquiring small, healthy SaaS products designed to stay that way. Unlike VCs chasing the next grand slam with endless cash burn, we prioritize well-reasoned investments in profitable companies that deliver consistent cash flow.
Stable
Business as usual.
Why?
Ownership transitions work best when a company is stable and free from major disruptions. Resolving any “black swan” events before selling ensures a smoother process, reduces risks to continuity, and sets the business up for success under new ownership.
US-Centric
You’re focused on the US market.
Why?
We firmly believe that understanding the customer environment, needs, and culture is essential to driving the continued success of a SaaS company. We know the US market best and we currently remain primarily focused on supporting it.

Our Story
We’ve been in your shoes.
We’re former Silicon Valley and Y Combinator founders who built and sold a successful tech company, navigating a stressful exit that left us with a $300k+ legal bill. We saw firsthand how peers faced awful exit options—pressured by VCs to shutter great businesses that didn’t fit the rapid-growth mold or forced into short-term decisions over long-term vision. Whether you’re cashing out your side hustle, didn’t hit the VC rocket ship, or simply want more time with family, Nodestream is the ideal home for your SaaS company. We’ve been there, and we know how to do things right.
