Humanda Orgins
Our story begins with Shane our founder sitting at a table witnessing a Venture Capitalist and a Buyer role playing before the buyer was about to approach a potential seller with an offer. This conversation led to the enlightenment of the M&A world and the struggles that buyers have when it comes to risks associated with purchasing a company.
The words of the buyer that hit home most were, "I buy companies for 5 Million or less and every time I make a purchase it is like buying a car blind... when anyone tries to get information on the workforce which is the engine the workforce leaves before the deal ever gets anywhere and kills the deal before we ever make it to the bank...current methods are through assessments, but really only work for companies that have "golden handcuffs". For our size purchases we just have to go without the data and it is scary... If anyone could give us this data without spiking the flight risk we would pay a pretty penny."
This statement coming from the buyer left only one question, "If Humanda™ could find a way to collect the data in a new way, without spiking flight risk, how valuable would that be to you as a buyer?" That question sparked a massive endeavor to solve one of the oldest problems within the M&A space. Collect the Human Capital Data without spiking flight risk.
In less than a year and a $400k application later Humanda™ was born and now all Sellers, Buyers, and Brokers are equipped to add this coveted data to their CIM and VDR's.
