Why Curious?

Andrew Dumont

We often get asked, why Curious? It's one of the most important questions for us to have a clear answer to -- so much so that we include this in every LOI (letter of intent) that we submit. Given our commitment to transparency, we wanted to publish the answer to this question publicly. This is our promise to every company we work with.

Why Curious? 

Deciding to sell your company, and who to sell to, is one of the more important decisions you’ll ever make. We don’t take that decision lightly. 

As former founders with several exits under our belt, we’re building Curious to be the acquirer that we wish existed when we sold our companies. Here’s our commitment to you and a few reasons why we’re the right long-term partner.

  1. Our emphasis is on the continuation of the company you’ve built. When we acquire a company, we’re investing for the next decade plus and intend to keep your product and vision alive.
  2. We’re operators first. Our team has more than twenty years of SaaS operating experience. We bring this experience and fresh eyes to each company we partner with to unlock the next phase of growth and opportunity.
  3. Our shared resources at the Curious level on both finance and customer acquisition will free up focus and time for your core team so that they can focus on the things that matter most to the business.
  4. We care about your people and your customers. When you select a buyer, you’re selecting a steward of both your people and your customers. Our commitment is to do right by them, providing the opportunity and investment into them that’s needed on-going.
  5. We are not fix and flip buyers. Everything we do is long-term oriented. Most buyers either shut the business down after an acquisition or cut egregiously to juice earnings and sell it to the next buyer. Our goal and foundational structure is to hold onto the businesses we acquire in perpetuity. We approach every operating decision in that frame.

Thanks again for allowing us the opportunity to learn more about your business and for opening up the potential of Curious taking your company forward, it means a lot to us.
