Who We Are

Proven operators ready for a new chapter

We are Colin and Magdalena, a dynamic, growth-focused owner-operator team who have built and scaled service businesses together for decades.

Colin is an Austin-based IT consultant with over 30 years of experience delivering and leading complex software and IT engagements. Magdalena has led and scaled service businesses for decades, including a four-location childcare chain, along with e-commerce and other service-based ventures.

This hands-on experience spans operations, finance, hiring, customer relationships, and long-term stewardship—giving us a practical foundation for acquiring and running an IT service business.

We're seeking an acquisition where we can be active, credible owners focused on stability, continuity, and thoughtful growth.

Our Background

  • 20+ Years as Business Owners

    Experience acquiring, running, and growing service-based organizations across multiple industries.

  • Deep IT Domain Expertise

    Over 30 years delivering complex software and IT consulting engagements.

  • Focused Acquisition

    We are ready to evaluate attractive opportunities and value thoughtful diligence, continuity for teams, and long-term success.

Our Approach

Long-term stewardship, not quick flips

We're pursuing a single, high-quality acquisition where we can act as long-term owner-operators—not passive investors.

Preserve What Works

We retain key staff, maintain client relationships, and support a smooth transition from the current owner. No aggressive restructuring.

Sustainable Growth

Growth through operational improvement and client expansion—leveraging our technical and consulting background rather than cost-cutting.

Hands-On Ownership

We're not absentee investors. We'll be actively involved in operations, bringing our IT expertise and business acumen to the table.

Current Focus

Current Focus

We are currently focused on acquiring an established IT services business where we can be hands-on, long-term owner-operators. The focus below reflects what we are prioritizing today, not a permanent mandate.

IT Acquisition Focus

  • Managed Service Providers (MSPs)
  • IT Consulting / Professional Services
  • US-based (Texas preferred, not required)
  • ~$400k+ Seller Discretionary Earnings (preferred)
  • Strong recurring revenue and retention
  • Independent businesses (no franchises)

Time to Transition

We understand the journey of building a business and respect the time it takes to find the right successor.

The Right Fit

Finding a buyer who understands your industry and values your legacy is as important as the deal itself.

Continued Growth

Your business deserves owners who will invest in its future, not just extract value.
