The asset comprises a creator-facing studio product, an embeddable player, an integrated Stripe Connect billing layer, and a LiveKit-based real-time infrastructure deployed on AWS — but has not yet generated meaningful commercial traction.

Requirements: / Possess a demonstrable track record of executing sell-side M&A or asset sales in the technology, SaaS, or digital media sectors, ideally including pre-revenue or capability-driven transactions. / Demonstrate a tested buyer network across strategic acquirers in streaming, creator economy, video infrastructure, B2B SaaS, and adjacent technology verticals. / Show fluency in framing valuation for pre-revenue or sub-scale assets — including IP value, technology replacement cost, team value, and strategic synergy storylines. / Exhibit hands-on process leadership, with the seniority and credibility to engage directly with founders, CEOs, corp dev leads, and strategic acquirers as the lead deal partner. / Possess working knowledge of modern SaaS architecture and infrastructure components (real-time video / WebRTC, embeddable web players, payment-platform integrations, cloud-native deployments) sufficient to credibly position the asset to technical buyers. / Demonstrate immediate availability and the bandwidth to drive a transaction to close within 3–6 months. Nice to Have: / Prior tenure at a technology-focused M&A boutique with a strong sell-side practice. / Personal relationships with corp dev teams at major streaming, video, or creator-economy platforms. / Experience structuring acqui-hire or asset-purchase transactions where consideration is heavily weighted toward equity, earn-outs, or retention packages. / Familiarity with LiveKit, WebRTC infrastructure, or real-time video tooling at a technical level. / Prior advisor-side experience working on founder-led sale processes with concentrated decision-making. Scope of Work: / Pre-launch phase: equity story development, buyer mapping, marketing materials, data room build-out (weeks 1–3). / Outreach and first-round phase: targeted approach to strategic acquirers, NDA management, teaser distribution, IOI collection (weeks 3–8). / Management meetings and second-round phase: coordinating diligence, managing buyer questions, refining bids (weeks 8–14). / LOI/SPA negotiation and close: term sheet negotiation, exclusivity, confirmatory diligence, signing, closing (weeks 14–24). / Ongoing reporting and process governance with the founding team throughout the engagement.
