Acquisition strategy

Minority investments

Some founders want a partner, not an exit. Unity sources those conversations off-market and matches them to capital that can live without control.

Partnership without control transfer

Capital for founders who are still building

Minority processes die in auctions because control buyers crowd the room. Proprietary origination keeps the conversation limited to capital that accepted a minority posture on the mandate.

The owner is often introduced by a wealth advisor or CPA who already knows control is not for sale this year.

How minority deals are originated

Filter for posture first

01

Mandate says minority

Fit scoring excludes control-only buyers from this queue.

02

Qualify the founder’s use of proceeds

Growth, partner buyout, or partial liquidity change the conversation.

03

Introduce a short list

Controlled distribution — not a widely circulated teaser.

04

Route by priority if overlap exists

Same membership window used across Unity origination.

Governance matters

Board rights, information rights, and hold periods belong in the first conversation.

Path to later control

Some minority files become majority later. That is a second mandate, not an assumption.

Quiet by default

Employees and customers do not need to learn a process is live.

Next step

Write minority as a structure, not a fallback

If you will not close without control, do not sit in this queue.

For acquirers

Who sees off-market deals first?

When several qualified buy-side mandates fit the same off-market opportunity, review order follows membership.

Not a public auction. Mandate-fit scoring still applies inside each tier.
