Off-market targets for venture portfolios

When a portfolio company is ready to grow through acquisition, Unity sources off-market targets aligned to the thesis — quietly, under NDA, and without auction exposure.

Portfolio M&A

Accelerate the roadmap without a public process

Venture-backed companies use acquisitions to move product, enter a market, acquire specialized talent, or consolidate a fragmented early sector. The constraint is finding the target before competitors do.

Unity sources founders and operators who will take a private conversation but have not hired a banker. Overlapping mandates are routed by membership priority.

VC spine

From portfolio thesis to introduction

01

Name the company and the gap

Which portfolio company, which capability, which geography, which earnings band.

02

Source privately

Add-ons, acqui-hires, and product-line operators who are not running a process.

03

Screen before the partner meeting

Fit against the thesis and the operating capacity of the platform company.

04

Route and introduce

NDA first. Overlap follows Priority → Intelligence → Advantage → Free.

  • Portfolio-company add-ons and partnerships aligned to each growth thesis
  • Acqui-hire and specialized-talent target identification
  • Product and technology capability expansion through off-market bolt-ons
  • Early-sector consolidation where relationship sourcing still beats an auction
