Spearhead Corp Dev

The luxury of choice in M&A: human-first, AI-driven sourcing and qualifying of proprietary M&A deals on the buy-side, at scale. Spearhead enables active large corporates (such as FirstService or Colliers), and mid-market private equity sponsors (such as Morgan Stanley Capital Partners or BV Investment Partners), to see more opportunities and close more off-market deals with more certainty. Located in Toronto and Cape Town, our team of 40+ seasoned dealmakers expertly curate, connect with, and advise on deal opportunities for our clients. We become an extension of their investment / corp dev teams. It is our deeply-held belief that deal origination and advisory will and must remain human-first. We also believe that our significant investments in AI, technology, process engineering, databases and advanced lead generation techniques, much of which we have built ourselves, enable our deal teams to do what they do best. As we like to say, ‘just pick up the phone’. Our interactions with the business owners are always well researched, thoughtful, and memorable. It is the only way—any other approach would not do justice to our clients’ exceptional brands and reputations. In 2022, Spearhead received a $3.2m investment from FirePower Capital, a mid-market private capital and investment bank. FirePower has completed over 125 transactions since inception in 2012.
