01
What We Do
M&A Brokerage facilitating mergers, acquisitions, business sales between buyers and sellers of privately-owned and publicly traded companies. We’ve not only helped sell other entrepreneurs companies but we’ve sold our own. We know exactly what it’s like because as former travel technology entrepreneurs we’ve been there ourselves.
02
The Service
We offer both buy-side and sell-side representation. We leverage TSI’s 650+ buyer network and a 7,000+ global travel industry network.
03
The Mission
It’s simple. Our Mission is to help you find the best Buyer/Seller for your company from our global network. We strive for win-wins to get deals executed.
Leisure Travel/B2C
For leisure travel companies we represent we’ll look to sell to larger travel companies, PE firms, and Family Offices in our global buyer network.
Prior to launching TSI and investing in travel startups we founded and operated CollegeSkiTrips.com an OTA in the ski travel vertical for 15-years. We sold the company in 2007, now owned by the largest ski tour operator in the USA.
Business Travel/B2B
For business travel companies we represent we’ll look to sell to corporate enterprises, PE firms and Family Offices.
TSI invested in multiple B2B and business travel startups from 2015-2018. We’ve had 2 exits and 2 mergers of B2B companies in our investment portfolio.
We are keen to understanding enterprise values and who are the best companies to buy.
