FAIR watches the M&A market for tech founders. Each week it ranks the companies most likely to acquire a business like yours, with a short rationale and financials for each, plus the deals and strategic moves in your niche that change the timing. It covers the US, EU and LATAM. Free plan: top 5 acquirers, no card. Radar: $49/mo.

About
I'm building FAIR, an acquisition radar for tech founders who want to know who could buy their company before they need a buyer. Each week FAIR ranks likely acquirers, explains why each one fits, and flags M&A moves in your niche. I've spent 15+ years as a founder, advisor and board member (X23 Capital, Drummond Advisors, Founder Institute mentor, Fundação Dom Cabral). Happy to talk with founders who are thinking about exit timing, and with M&A advisors.
