Adam Ray

Buy-side M&A advisor representing private equity funds, search funds, family offices, and strategic acquirers across the US and Canada lower middle market. 20+ years across the deal table — started in private equity and corporate development, then ran a search fund through acquisition and exit before moving full-time into buy-side advisory. My clients are actively deploying capital and looking for mandate-specific deals, often before they reach the brokered process. Most active sectors: tech, business services, consumer products & services, industrials & manufacturing, and healthcare. A core part of my practice: I maintain a deep network of trusted sell-side advisors and routinely refer owner-led opportunities — typically matched by transaction size, niche, or specialization — that aren't yet a fit for my buyers. If you're an intermediary, I'm both an active outlet for your mandates and a recurring source of qualified seller introductions.
