Why Forward?

We’re founders ourselves; we know the amount of blood, sweat and tears you’ve invested in your company.

We are not your typical buyer.
We acquire companies with a long-term outlook.

We won’t flip your company to make a quick buck or destroy the culture you’ve worked hard to create. We’re open to you sticking around or leaving for a new adventure.

We prioritize keeping the process fair and straightforward. We can often make an offer in a week and close within a month.
