Why owners talk to us
Selling direct means you stay in control.
Most owners do not want a public process. They want straight answers, a buyer who understands what they built, and enough room to decide what comes next.

No broker fees
Selling direct keeps more of the value you created in the deal.

The best transitions start with a conversation long before the sale.25x30 Acquisitions · Seller-first by design

The buyer, in person
About Matt
You will deal with the buyer, not a committee.
Matt is a Pittsburgh-based CEO and operator with more than two decades in healthcare and technology — from Baxter, Mylan, and Highmark Health to startups he helped build from zero revenue to commercial scale.
When 25x30 buys a business, it puts its own money in and its own name on the loan. It answers to the employees who stay, the customers who trust the company, and the seller whose name is often still on the door.

The first conversation
Start the conversation
Thinking about selling — now or someday?
Tell us a little about your business and we will respond within two business days. Everything you send is held in strict confidence.
Not ready to sell for a few years? That is fine. The best transitions start with a conversation long before the sale.
Prefer email? [email protected]Before you reach out
What if I am years away from selling?
That is fine. The best transitions often start well before the sale.
Will my information stay private?
Yes. We keep the initial conversation confidential and sign an NDA before sensitive information is shared.
Do I need financials for the first call?
No. The first call is about the business, your goals, and whether it makes sense to continue.
What if my business is not an exact fit?
Reach out anyway. The ranges are a guide, not a reason to dismiss a strong business without a conversation.
