Vertical SaaS Family Office Capital Raise: An Independent Sponsor's Counsel
Securities and M&A counsel for independent sponsors raising vertical SaaS transactions, from LOI to close to the capital markets that open up afterward.
The economics on a vertical SaaS platform deal usually hinge on a handful of structural decisions. Family Office Capital Raise is one of them.
The typical vertical SaaS platform sits at $10M to $200M EV with EBITDA in the $2M to $30M (or run-rate ARR) range. The thesis runs on platform plus adjacent module acquisitions inside a single end-market. The ARR number on the CIM is rarely the ARR number on the closing balance sheet. Reconcile early.
How Family Office Capital Raise actually gets structured.
Lead with the deal and the structure, not with the firm pitch. Family offices invest in deals first.
Build a Reg D 506(b) or 506(c) deck depending on whether you have a pre-existing relationship.
Confirm accredited or qualified-purchaser status before sharing transactional detail.
Match the LP's preferred check size to the position you can offer in the deal.
In vertical SaaS, layer in ARR bridge built before LOI signing as part of the Family Office Capital Raise workstream.
Pitching family offices the same way you pitch institutional PE. They want shorter conversations and tighter alignment, not a fund deck.
"Family offices are not small institutions. They are sophisticated buyers of single positions. Pitch accordingly."Jason Powell · Family Office Capital Raise
The deal is one thing. The capital that opens up after close is another.
Capital after close is where the IRR actually gets made. The right introductions at month nine through month thirty are where this practice works as hard as it does at the LOI.
