consult.nowInternet Industries partners with founders of profitable software businesses that have stalled.
Whether you built it yourself or acquired it, we help increase its value through better positioning, product strategy, design, distribution and execution.
Keep your company. Get the operating capability it is missing.
AI has dramatically reduced the cost of writing software.
It hasn't reduced the difficulty of positioning products, finding customers, retaining users or building a company people want to own.
Most founders don't fail because they can't build.
They fail because they have to become experts in everything else.
Most operating partnerships combine a modest monthly operating fee with a time-limited share of revenue growth above the business's existing baseline.
You retain ownership and final decision-making authority.
We only participate in the additional value we help create.

We help determine whether the best outcome is to grow the business, prepare it for sale or explore an acquisition.
We work alongside you to improve positioning, pricing, product strategy, onboarding, retention and distribution. You keep ownership. We share in the additional value we help create.
For founders who believe the product has more potential but need experienced operating support.
We improve the parts of the business that influence buyer confidence and valuation, including positioning, financial reporting, documentation, metrics and presentation. We then help prepare the business for market.
For founders considering an exit who do not want to sell an under-prepared asset.
In limited cases, we may acquire the business directly or structure an exit through seller financing, revenue participation or a qualified acquisition partner.
For founders who want to step away and believe the product deserves a permanent operator.
We increase the value of internet businesses that already have evidence people want them.

STATUS / LOOKING FOR OPERATING PARTNERS We work with internet businesses that already have: [01] A launched product [02] Paying customers [03] Evidence of demand [04] A committed founder Preferred range $500—$5k MRR Not a fit Idea stage / pre-product
We look for useful products with paying customers, understandable markets, manageable technical debt and founders willing to act.
We are less concerned with rapid growth than clear evidence that customers receive genuine value.
We work across product, design, development and distribution rather than handing the founder a strategy document and walking away.
