Who we work with
Three situations we see most.
Corporate Development directors
You run Corp Dev and need more capacity.
eightM extends your team across sourcing, outreach, valuation, process, and close. Your pipeline, your brand, more senior hands.
PE firms with a new platform
Your platform needs an add-on engine.
eightM runs a temporary M&A function: buy-box, target universe, outreach, LOIs. It runs until a permanent hire or team is in place.
European buyers entering the US
You want to enter the US through an acquisition.
eightM runs the market-entry acquisition from target mapping to close, in German or English, from Austin.
