Growth and M&A for Exceptional Bootstrapped Technology Companies

"Mike Firmage and Horizon Partners were exceptional partners to Nutrislice over more than nine years. Their guidance extended far beyond a single process — they helped us think long-term, navigate critical decisions, and ultimately find the right partner in Accel-KKR. Their judgment, integrity, and deep understanding of founder-led software companies played a meaningful role in helping Nutrislice become the business it is today. If you have an opportunity to work with them, seize that opportunity. It'll be one of the best decisions you ever make."

"I had the absolute privilege of working with Horizon Partners on Uscreen’s transaction with PSG, and I can say without hesitation that their work was exceptional. From start to finish, Horizon demonstrated a rare combination of strategic vision, executional excellence, and unwavering commitment."

"What sets Mike and Horizon apart is their commitment to each Horizon client. They made us feel like we were Horizon's top priority. It was clear that they didn’t just see ours as another deal; Mike and his colleagues became integral parts of our team, working tirelessly to secure the best possible outcome. Mike's strategic insights and relentless effort were instrumental in closing a transaction that was not only successful but also aligned perfectly with our long-term vision."

"When the time comes for my next deal, I don't even need to consider with whom I plan to work. As far as I'm concerned, Horizon Partners already has the job.If you're a founder looking for a true partner to bring your business to the next level, look no further. If you work with Horizon, your life will be easier, your nerves calmer, and your transaction outcome much, much better."

"The Horizon Partners team is not only comprised of the best bankers in the business, they are genuinely decent human beings who truly care about their clients. While there are numerous reasons why we are grateful to have hired Horizon, the most salient is that they were ultimately highly successful stewards of our complex sponsor-backed merger and recapitalization. "

"After working with the Horizon team to close a large transaction with our ideal partner, we are pleased to say that they delivered 100%. Not only did they exceed our lofty expectations in terms of professionalism, work-ethic, efficiency, and the ultimate transaction valuation, but they did so while being heavily involved operationally and strategically. "

"By the time we had closed a transaction... they had truly become part of the Mathway team.  We are thrilled with our outcome and are now happy to add "friends" to Horizon's former title as our "investment bankers."

"Horizon's deep SaaS expertise was the primary consideration when we selected them – from two dozen candidates – to manage our transaction process... I would hire Horizon again in a heartbeat."

"If you have the opportunity to work with Horizon Partners, you should. Horizon architected a dream transaction structure that I wouldn't have thought possible...until they delivered it."

"DaySmart began working with Horizon three years prior to our transaction. From kickoff to closing, Horizon was outstanding to work with and added tremendous value."

"Horizon’s deep expertise, attention to detail, insights and instincts played key roles in getting us an excellent valuation. Bottom line: Horizon delivered."

"Horizon’s long-term view is refreshing and their industry expertise has proven invaluable. They exhibit a care-factor that you won’t find with other banks. Simply put, Horizon is in a class of its own."

"From start to finish, Horizon’s principals brought an intensity, work ethic, level of expertise, and ultimately outcome that strongly exceeded our expectations."

"Horizon delivered a great outcome on my transaction. They added value in many ways throughout the process. I talked to a number of firms before exploring M&A and I’m very glad I went with Horizon."

"To say that Mike and the Horizon team delivered would be a massive understatement. They plumbed every corner of our company – business model, go to market strategy, IP, operations, finance, legal – and identified the drivers of our success. If you have the honor of working with the Horizon team, we're confident you'll be similarly thrilled."
