Our Story

Foundy was created to modernise the mergers and acquisitions (M&A) process.

Our founder and CEO, Joe Lewin, envisioned a single platform where high-quality buyers and sellers could seamlessly connect, engage and transact.

Today, Foundy is a trusted partner for thousands of businesses and entrepreneurs across the UK and US, facilitating efficient M&A deals and driving business growth.

Foundy was created to modernise the mergers and acquisitions process. Frustrated by the traditional, cumbersome M&A process, our founder envisioned a world where high-quality, motivated buyers and sellers could easily connect and transact. Today, Foundy serves as a trusted partner to thousands of SMEs, corporates, private equity funds, search funds and entrepreneurs across the UK, US and parts of Europe.

When selling my first tech company, I learned how outdated, inefficient and opaque the traditional M&A process is. I quickly learned that I wasn’t alone in my experience and started Foundy to offer business owners and buyers everything they need to buy or sell a business inside one digital platform.
