Buy the company.
Keep the know-how.
When a fund buys a business, the founder hands over the keys. We make sure you capture, transfer and retain their critical know-how with our offboarding platform.

Races are lost in the handoff zone.
So are acquisitions. A lifetime of know-how is scattered across email, WhatsApp, calls, spreadsheets and old presentations. The part that matters most lives only in the founder's head. And all of it walks out the door on a date everyone already knows.
The math
Keep the founder for months, not years.
Most deals keep the founder on as a consultant until the team can cope. Capture what they know early and the overlap gets much shorter.

Three legs. One clean pass.
We plug in
Calls, WhatsApp, email, shared drives, spreadsheets, presentations, manuals, the CRM and the ERP. If the founder works with it, we connect it. Two weeks, and nobody has to change how they work.
Learns while they run
While the founder keeps working, it learns from every call, email and chat. Each problem they solve becomes a case: what happened, what they did and why. Every night it organises what it learned and spots what is still missing. Then it asks the founder short, specific questions to fill those gaps, and every answer or correction they give becomes part of the company's memory.
The new team takes it
The new team asks in plain words, from the office, the warehouse or on the phone with a customer. It answers with what the founder would have said, and shows the case or conversation it comes from. A person always reviews the answer before anything reaches a customer. And it keeps learning after the founder leaves: every new case the team solves makes it better.
Lane 3
The questions only the founder could answer.
Until now.
Your new team asks, from the office, the warehouse or a customer's site. It answers with years of the founder's experience behind it, and shows exactly where each answer came from.
Why does this customer order twice in March?
They close the plant every April for maintenance and stock up first. Call them in February.

Error 47 on the panel. What now?
Almost always a loose comms cable, not the drive. Check the connector before sending a technician.
From resolved support cases
The German supplier is late again. Who do we call?
Skip sales and ask for the logistics lead. He replies faster on WhatsApp, in English.

Private by design.
Yours by default.
Your emails, calls and customer history are the most sensitive data a company has. They stay encrypted, behind strict access controls, and they belong to you. We never train models on them, and when you sell the business, the knowledge goes with it.
