Permanent home for enterprise
intelligence companies.
We acquire and operate data, research, and intelligence businesses — providing founders with a decisive exit and their companies with the capital and technology to grow.
Get in TouchHow we partner with founders
We combine long-term ownership, operational depth, and proprietary technology to build durable value — for the companies we acquire, their customers, and their teams.
Committed capital. No financing contingencies. Transparent process. Founders know exactly where they stand at every stage.
Relationships are the core asset. We protect service continuity from day one and invest in deepening those relationships over time.
Our proprietary AI platform replaces manual workflows with intelligent automation — improving margins, accuracy, and the product itself within 90 days.
Stay involved, shift roles, or step back entirely. We design the transition around your goals. There is no single template.
Our team has built, scaled, and invested in enterprise software. We bring hands-on experience across engineering, go-to-market, and finance — not just capital.
We are not optimizing for a three-year flip. Cascade is building a category-defining platform where every acquisition strengthens the whole.
-
01
Enterprise data, research, or intelligence
Contact intelligence, sales data, compliance screening, background verification, data enrichment, or market intelligence services.
-
02
$10M – $50M in annual revenue
Strong customer retention and predominantly recurring revenue.
-
03
Founder-owned or lightly capitalized
Succession planning, growth capital requirements, or venture debt refinancing — all common reasons founders engage with us.
-
04
Durable customer relationships
We prioritize businesses where customers trust the product, renew consistently, and have worked with the company for years.
-
05
Manual-intensive operations
Our platform is purpose-built for this. The more labor-intensive the delivery model, the more value our technology creates.
These criteria are a starting point. If your business operates in enterprise intelligence and you're considering a transition, we would welcome the conversation.
