About us
Calder Capital, LLC is a lower middle market M&A Advisory Firm focused on representing sellers of industrial, distribution, and business services companies with enterprise value from $1MM-$250MM; and strategic buyers seeking platform and bolt-on acquisitions in the same market segments. Our core focus is to bring the market to our clients. For seller clients, this means confidential and aggressive marketing to attract significant interest from qualified buyers. We are focused on administrative automation and streamlined processes to maximize competitive offers. For buyer clients, we use the same focused, aggressive, and smart automation and outreach to maximize the number of off-market sellers that are introduced to our clients. The results are clear; year-over-year growth and record-breaking progress in transactions closed and satisfied clients. Calder offers a very fast-paced and entrepreneurial environment where the learning and growth of our staff and associates are prioritized, and the truth is expected. Learning and growth are not a one-way street, however. Staff is expected to critically think, solve problems, and think on their feet. The truth and abiding by a code of ethics are of preeminent importance. Our team feels compelled to make difference, to impact prospects, clients, and Calder's business positively, even if that means periodic discomfort.

Wise words from our founder…
Founder & Managing Partner at Calder Capital / 3x Inc 5000 / 2x National Best & Brightest Places To Work
I may get some heat for this one. If you hired a Realtor and their go-to-market strategy was ONLY to go to buyers they knew who had written offers in the past 6 months, what would you think? No sign, no MLS, no open house, no advertising, no database email, nothing. How effective would that be at generating multiple offers and competition for the highest price? What if, when searching for a home, you had to call Realtors to find their inventory? Think about it. You could not get on a distribution list, could not visit the MLS, could not sign up to get matches to your criteria. Sounds like 1992. Unfortunately, this is how 90%+ of the M&A Advisory market works. Because most M&A firms are reluctant to invest in technology and infrastructure, their ONLY go-to-market strategy is to research a list of buyers (i.e. download a list from Pitchbook - sorry, I exposed the secret) and limit their clients' market to a ~100 outreaches. They do this under a mask of protecting confidentiality, but it's really just covering their inability to process significant buyer interest that more intense and beneficial marketing would yield. This results in fewer offers, fewer choices, less negotiating leverage, and a higher failure rate. When an M&A firm artificially limits the market for their client, how does that work in the best interest of the client? #mergersandacquisitions #investmentbanking #businessbrokerage #sellingabusiness
