OUR STORY

About Razorhorse

Founded in 2012, Razorhorse was initially created to source qualified deals for our founder, satisfying the aggressive acquisition goals of a Texas software billionaire. The target was ambitious: closing one software acquisition per month, a feat that required a well-oiled deal origination machine.

Leveraging over twenty years of experience in software company operations and M&A, our founder engineered a meticulous process and system. This internal playbook was designed to accurately target appropriate companies and assess them efficiently and effectively from a financial, competitive, and deal perspective in order to focus energy on the right deals at the right time.

After closing several notable deals in 2012, software CEOs and new private equity fund managers began approaching us for deal flow, and Razorhorse was born. The model scaled, moving from sourcing deals for a single family office to driving origination for some of the world’s top strategics, growth equity firms, and private equity investors.

OUR VALUES

We succeed by living our values.

Our culture is built on a small handful of non-negotiables. These values shape how we work with each other and with our clients.

Integrity

Trust is the currency of our business. Confidentiality and discretion are non-negotiable. Every relationship we build rests on this foundation.

Curiosity

We dig deeper to understand companies, markets, and what drives change. It’s how we spot opportunities others miss.

Collaboration

M&A is a team sport. We are highly competitive people who direct all our energy toward winning with our clients.

Deliberate Action

We move fast, but never at the expense of quality. Every outreach, introduction, and analysis is intentional.

Competence over Ego

We are high-skill, low-ego people and our best clients share that ratio. Results come first, recognition second.

Meet our people.
