The problem, and the process

What the process actually involves

Most acquirers in dating are starved for real targets. The bankers send the same handful of deals everyone has already seen, and the interesting brands are quiet, founder-run, and not on any list. Sourcing in this category is a contact sport, not a database query.

When you want to grow by buying, we find, vet, and bring you the targets that fit your thesis. We have spent years inside the dating ecosystem at the operator and investor level, and the brands worth talking to tend to talk to us first.

  1. 01

    A written thesis: what you want, what you do not, and at what size and shape.

  2. 02

    Active outreach to brands that fit, including the ones not on any sale list.

  3. 03

    An operator's vetting on traffic, cohorts, monetization, stack, team, and risk.

  4. 04

    A shortlist of real, reachable targets, with a clear read on why each one fits.

  5. 05

    Warm introductions, and as much or as little process support as you want from there.

Why High Intent is positioned to do this

Years on every side of the table.

  • 01

    Led M&A and a dating-only venture fund as Chief Investment & Growth Officer of Social Discovery Group, growing it from $200M to $350M.

  • 02

    Helped grow The Meet Group (NASDAQ: MEET) through four acquisitions while running all monetization.

  • 03

    Built a dating company's revenue from $0 to $100M+ as a C-level operator, so the diligence reads like an operator's, not a banker's.

  • 04

    Backed by a team with over 100 years of online dating experience, which is how the quiet, founder-run brands surface.

"Anyone promising you a quick close is selling you something. We will source patiently and tell you when a deal is not there, rather than push you into one that is not."
