OUR STORY
After a decade of working in the M&A profession under different capacities, Sawyer Price was established to bring our passion for sell-side advisory work together with our expertise in the software and tech sector. We recognized a strong demand in the lower middle-market for unbiased, industry-specific guidance, and we set out to build a different type of boutique M&A advisory that focuses exclusively on providing one service for one specific type of clientele.
Our founders have been advising on M&A transactions since 2009, and we have done everything from sell-side advisory, buy-side advisory, and corporate development analyst roles across numerous industries, including software & tech, wealth management, veterinary, ophthalmology, and more. We have also started, operated, and sold our own SaaS companies in the past (before and after the AI “vibe-coding” era), which gives our team a unique combination of insights and expertise that can only come from direct experience on all sides of the deal. We truly love helping clients achieve their goals, and we joined forces with several other like-minded M&A professionals to create a firm that’s rooted in hard work, integrity, and partnership. At Sawyer Price, we think the little details matter, and that’s reflected in everything that we do in service to our clients.

One Service. One Industry.
One Side – Yours.
We’re focused on providing one service and doing it exceptionally well. At Sawyer Price, we only cover the sell-side for software and tech companies. It’s all we do. Our singular focus on selling software and tech companies is structured around a proven M&A process for driving successful outcomes within a predictable timeframe. We leverage years of cross-border investment banking experience and industry relationships to facilitate competitive bidding conditions, while providing a highly personalized level of service from start to finish.
Selling a software company for maximum value isn’t easy without professional representation. The process can often take 6-10 months, and if you’re trying to manage everything on your own while still running your business at the same time, or working with an inexperienced business broker, you might not capture the full value of everything you worked so hard to build. We’re here to help remove stress and uncertainty from the process by providing comparable sell-side M&A strategy execution that institutional investment banks provide for upper middle-market and large-cap transactions.
WHY WE'RE DIFFERENT
Integrity
We get things done the right way, with hard work and unshakeable integrity. Dealing in good faith is the foundation of every M&A strategy that we develop, and we always put the interests of our clients above everything else. We will never compromise our fiduciary duties or principles for anyone or any dollar amount.
Focus
It’s hard to be an expert in everything, which is why we’re focused on providing one service and doing it exceptionally well. We help founders and middle-market software companies execute strategic M&A transactions on the sell-side only. It’s all we do. And we work relentlessly to perfect our craft in service to our clients.
Relationships
With offices in Chicago and Houston, Sawyer Price has the global footprint and cross-border expertise needed to create highly competitive bidding environments. We leverage our international network of relationships with private equity groups and strategic buyers to bring our sell-side engagements to the right audience.
Service
When we say that client satisfaction is the only measure of success we care about, we mean it. At all times. We always show the utmost respect for our clients, the buyers that we work with, and most importantly, the M&A process. Regardless of the transaction size, we always provide white-glove service throughout every step of the process.
Experience
Trust gets deals closed, but experience is the difference between maximizing value and leaving money on the table. M&A is more of an art than a science, and truly successful outcomes are driven by advisors who can consistently tell your company’s value story in a way that drives excitement and competition among buyers.
Collaboration
Our dedicated team brings decades of combined lower middle-market M&A experience and industry-specific insights to every transaction that we advise on. We learn from each other, inspire one another, and our shared passion for helping clients achieve their financial goals is what makes our deal team different.
