At Niche Mates, we're not just investors; we're like that savvy friend who knows a thing or two about nurturing and running SaaS startups.
A blend of passion, expertise, and a dash of humor. We don't just throw cash and hope for the best. Nope, we roll up our sleeves, get down in the trenches, and help founders build companies brick by digital brick.
Well, it's simple – we've got the heart, the smarts, and a whole lot of coffee-powered enthusiasm. Plus, we've been there, done that, and got the T-shirt (and a few successful ventures to boot!)…

To understand that a company is right for us, we ask ourselves 5 key questions
Simplicity and Understanding: We invest in businesses that we understand profoundly. This ensures that our investments are not just about financial backing but also about a genuine involvement in the company's.
Sustainable Competitive Advantage: We seek out companies with a unique selling proposition (USP) that provides a durable competitive edge. This could be innovative technology, a unique business model, or an exceptional customer experience.
Ethical and Capable Management: We believe in the power of people. Hence, our investments are in companies led by ethical, capable, and honest management teams. Integrity and leadership quality are paramount in our evaluation process.
Value Addition: Our approach is not just to provide capital but to significantly contribute through our network, expertise, and other assets within our portfolio. We aim to be a catalyst for growth, leveraging our resources to enhance the company's trajectory.
Fair Pricing: We engage in investments that are sensibly priced. Our goal is to create long-term value and avoid overpaying, no matter how attractive the short-term gains might seem.
Once we've identified an opportunity that fits our thesis, we move quickly.
There's a saying in finance that "time kills all deals." For this reason, every acquisition offer we've extended to a founder was made within 30 days.
In some cases the entire discovery → closed process takes just 15 days.
Our diligence is a qualitative and quantitative procedure:
Following data confirmation, we're eager to execute prior to the LOI's closing date when possible.
We build products in an iterative process, that actually solve problems for peopl, ultimately enabling them to become better at what they do.
We focus on developing highly scalable solutions in collaboration with industry experts, to add value within the industry.
We run and grow our company based on stoic core values: Courage – Justice – Temperance – Wisdom
