We Acquire Distressed AI Assets

Every year, hundreds of AI companies shut down—not because the technology failed, but because startups are hard. We acquire AI companies, intellectual property, and technology assets that are winding down, undervalued, or overlooked. We move fast, pay cash, and give these assets a second life.

We look for AI companies and assets that don't fit the traditional buyer profile: companies that raised money but never found product-market fit, founders who are burned out and ready to move on, technology that works but never got to market, and IP that's sitting on a shelf collecting dust. If you have something valuable but no clear path forward, we want to hear from you.

Our process is simple. We move fast—from first call to closed deal in weeks, not months. We pay cash with no complex structures, earnouts, or financing contingencies. And we keep things clean with simple terms and short agreements. We're not trying to win on legal technicalities; we want deals that work for both sides.

Sellers choose us because we're small, flexible, and respectful. We make decisions quickly, adapt to what the seller needs, and treat the process of selling a company with the seriousness it deserves. If you're exploring options or ready to move forward, reach out.
