Who We Are

Boom is revolutionizing the way small industrial businesses ($1M-$100M) transition to new ownership. We're an AI-native succession platform, designed to streamline, democratize, and accelerate the sale of legacy industrial businesses. Since our founding in August 2023, we’ve skyrocketed from $0 to nearly $400K in ARR in just a few months with a unique business model AND over $70M in exclusive deals with our first two deals to close in Q1 25'!!!

We’re closing our seed round and backed by the likes of Motivate VC , who believed in us early and are doubling down for the next round.

Our mission? To unlock liquidity for a historically underserved market and build a category-defining platform that becomes the go-to for small business succession.

Who We’re Looking For

A 10x Hustler Banker with a deep knowledge of industrial businesses and accounting, who thrives on the thrill of building something revolutionary. You're personable, charming, and not just a finance bro that can't connect with a small business owner over a beer.

We're looking for a deal expert that thrives on uncertainty and has experience selling industrial and B2B service companies. We want someone who is obsessed with problem solving and wants to build a disruptive company in an old school industry. Selling large businesses is hard, selling small businesses is even harder. We need someone who is hungry and does not take no for an answer. You're a leader that hates losing more than you love winning. Why? Because you expect to win.

If you can roll up your sleeves, spot opportunities others miss, and perform a Quality of Earnings (QoE) assessment on a $3M plastics manufacturing business before your morning coffee, we want to talk.

You Are :

  • A Financial Expert : You have experience in investment banking, transaction advisory, or PE / VC. You understand the nuances of industrial businesses and can sniff out profit drivers and red flags alike.
  • A Builder : You don’t just want to join a company – you want to help build one. You thrive in ambiguity and are excited by the zero-to-one journey.
  • A Hustler : You’re relentless, resourceful, and have an ownership mentality. No task is too small or too complex.
  • Tech-Curious : You understand the power of AI and technology, and how they can redefine antiquated industries.
  • Client-Focused : You love interacting with business owners, understanding their needs, and guiding them through the succession process.

What You’ll Do

  • Run point on small business transactions
  • Drive Transactions : Lead deals end-to-end, performing financial analysis, QoEs, and ensuring successful outcomes for buyers and sellers.
  • Shape the Platform : Help refine our AI-powered tools to make due diligence faster, smarter, and more efficient.
  • Build Relationships : Develop deep connections with business owners, investors, and intermediaries in the industrial space.
  • Drive Strategy : Work closely with the founding team to define growth strategies and go-to-market initiatives.
  • Why Join Boom?

  • Real Impact : Play a pivotal role in democratizing liquidity for the backbone of American industry.
  • Ground Floor Opportunity : Be among the first hires in a company poised for rapid growth.
  • Fast Traction : We’re not just talking big – we’re already delivering. $400K ARR in months, and we’re just warming up.
  • Top-Tier Backing : Motivate VC is on board and doubling down.
  • Ownership & Growth : Competitive compensation, meaningful equity, and the chance to grow as we grow.
  • What We Offer :

  • Base salary 20-25% of deal fees equity package
  • OTE ~$500k 1st Year, but ONLY 60 hrs not 100 hrs a week
  • Direct path to an executive leadership role
  • Opportunity to be a part of a $100B business disrupting the M&A industry
  • Mentorship from a CEO and COO with proven track records of successes
  • A dynamic and innovative work environment
  • Competitive compensation package with performance-based incentives
  • ANSWER THESE TWO QUESTIONS

    1) What is something society believes to be true that you do NOT believe to be true?

    2) What is the most difficult thing in your personal or professional life that you had to persevere through?

    Salary : $500,000
