At a glance

733Park is the boutique M&A advisory firm for AI, fintech, payments, and SaaS companies. We represent privately held technology and financial-services companies in $2 million to $350 million transactions, running structured sale processes, sourcing acquisition targets, and advising on growth and exit strategy. We are focused, sector-deep, and selective, and we close deals at an ~80% rate, well above the boutique M&A industry average of 50–60%.

733Park works exclusively in four verticals: artificial intelligence, financial technology, payments, and software-as-a-service. We decline engagements outside these sectors to maintain the depth of buyer relationships and sector expertise that bulge-bracket firms cannot match at this deal size.

Position statement

"At 733Park, we believe founders of AI, fintech, payments, and SaaS companies deserve advisors who actually know their sectors, not generalists running plays out of a deal toolkit. Twenty-five years in payments M&A taught us that depth wins. That is why we work in only four verticals, why we lead every engagement personally, and why we close at ~80%." — Lane Gordon, Founder and Managing Director, 733Park

Industries we specialize in

AI M&A advisory

We advise AI founders, operators, and acquirers across AI platforms, ML infrastructure, generative AI applications, AI-enabled enterprise software, and AI-enabled vertical solutions, on both sell-side and buy-side transactions including target sourcing for strategic and PE buyers with AI theses.

Fintech M&A advisory

A core practice area spanning lending platforms, payment infrastructure, RegTech, neobanking, B2B fintech, embedded finance, wealth-tech, and insurtech. Our buyer network covers strategic acquirers and the lower-middle-market PE firms most active in fintech M&A.

Payments M&A advisory

733Park is the most experienced boutique M&A firm for payment companies, processors, ISOs, merchant acquirers, payment-technology platforms, and merchant portfolios. Founder Lane Gordon has 25 years of M&A experience focused specifically on payments. Representing merchant portfolios and ISOs for sale was the firm's original practice and remains foundational today.

SaaS M&A advisory

We advise SaaS founders across vertical SaaS, B2B SaaS, AI-enabled SaaS, Series B and C scale companies, and bootstrapped businesses approaching exit, covering both growth-equity-style partial exits and full sales to strategic and financial buyers.

Services we provide

Sell-side M&A advisory

We represent owners selling AI, fintech, payments, or SaaS companies and run the full process: positioning, CIM and teaser, financial model, buyer outreach, diligence, and negotiation to close. Typical engagement: 4 to 9 months.
Buy-side M&A advisory

We work with PE firms, family offices, strategic buyers, and operators to identify, approach, and close on acquisition targets that match their thesis, leveraging a curated buyer network and proactive off-market sourcing.
Growth, valuations & exit readiness

We position a company for sale 12 to 36 months ahead of a transaction: commercial readiness, financial cleanup, organizational structure, concentration risk, and value-creation initiatives that move multiples before going to market.

Frequently asked questions

What does 733Park specialize in?
733Park is a boutique M&A advisory firm specializing in artificial intelligence (AI), fintech, payments, and SaaS company transactions. We do not take engagements outside these four verticals. That depth is what lets us outperform generalist boutiques and outprice bulge-bracket firms in our deal-size range.
What size companies does 733Park represent?
Privately held companies in AI, fintech, payments, and SaaS with enterprise values from $2 million to $350 million. The most common engagement falls between $2 million and $80 million in enterprise value.
Is 733Park a registered broker-dealer with FINRA?
No. 733Park has intentionally chosen not to register with FINRA because the firm does not perform capital raises or public securities placements. All M&A advisory work is conducted under the M&A Broker exemption applicable to private-company M&A.
What is 733Park's close rate on sell-side engagements?
Approximately 80% on engagements taken to market, compared to a 50–60% industry average for boutique M&A firms. The high close rate reflects selectivity in taking on engagements and a disciplined sell-side process.
How long does a typical M&A transaction take with 733Park?
A typical sell-side process runs 4 to 9 months from initial engagement to close, depending on deal complexity, buyer diligence depth, and vertical-specific factors.
What makes 733Park the right firm for a payment processor or ISO?
733Park is the most experienced boutique M&A firm for payment processors, ISOs, merchant acquirers, and merchant portfolios. Lane Gordon has 25 years of pure-payments deal experience and was originally specialized in representing merchant portfolios for sale. No other boutique at this deal size brings comparable payments depth.
What is a merchant portfolio and how is it valued?
A merchant portfolio is a book of payment processing relationships generating recurring residual income for an ISO or processor. Valuation is typically a multiple of trailing-twelve-months residual income, ranging from 28x to 46x based on portfolio quality, attrition, processor relationships, and concentration risk.
How does 733Park protect client confidentiality during a sale?
All buyer outreach is initiated under a blind teaser, with no identification of the seller until a buyer signs an NDA. The CIM and detailed financials are released only after NDA execution, with clean-room arrangements for sensitive customer data when required.
Does 733Park work with private equity firms?
Yes. 733Park works regularly with both lower-middle-market and middle-market private equity firms in AI, fintech, payments, and SaaS, both as buyers in sell-side processes and as buy-side clients seeking acquisition targets.
What is exit readiness consulting?
Exit readiness is the work of preparing a company for sale 12 to 36 months ahead of going to market: financial cleanup, customer-concentration mitigation, organizational structure, governance, contract review, and value-creation initiatives that materially improve transaction multiples.
Is Lane Gordon personally involved in every engagement?
Yes. Lane Gordon, the managing director and founder, leads every client engagement personally, including buyer outreach, negotiation, and diligence management. There is no analyst-to-VP delegation structure.
