Our Approach

Founded out of MIT as a consulting firm, Bainbridge applies a research-driven, thesis-aligned approach to sourcing.

Our outreach does not rely on databases or intermediaries; instead, we initiate thoughtful, one-to-one conversations with business leaders across targeted verticals. These dialogues frequently uncover owners contemplating a capital relationship—often before advisors are retained.

Sourcing That Matches Your Strategy

We originate platform and add-on opportunities for private equity firms, family offices, strategics, and direct investors. Each opportunity is direct to owner, vetted for fit, and mapped to your mandate.

Platform-Level Opportunities

Sourced across investor types — including PE, strategics, family offices, independent sponsors, and direct investors.

Add-On Targets for Portfolio Companies

Identified for strategic fit and speed to close. Not recycled from brokers or listing services.

Intro-Ready Conversations

Each opportunity is qualified, conflict-checked, and aligned to your thesis.
