Project Nova

This established hair care brand represents a compelling acquisition opportunity, combining proven market traction with exceptional profitability and significant untapped growth potential. The business has successfully built a loyal customer base of over 1 million lifetime customers spanning 175+ countries, achieving an impressive 75% repeat purchase rate that demonstrates strong brand equity and customer satisfaction. The company generates $2.8M in TTM total income through September 2025, delivering outstanding financial performance with a 64.7% gross margin and $1.2M in adjusted EBITDA, representing a remarkable 41.1% adjusted EBITDA margin that significantly exceeds industry benchmarks. The company’s competitive moat is anchored by proprietary, science-backed formulations featuring an exclusive complex developed over 20+ years, creating a defensible position against both emerging direct-to-consumer competitors and commodity alternatives.
The business operates through a highly efficient, owner-light model that prioritizes scalability and cash generation. A capable Vice President of Operations oversees daily execution through well-documented processes, enabling seamless ownership transition for a potential buyer. The company maintains structural cost advantages through its partnership with a single contract manufacturer that produces all SKUs, delivering economies of scale and sustainable margin protection that would be difficult for competitors to replicate. This asset-light infrastructure, combined with outsourced manufacturing and fulfillment, eliminates fixed overhead while generating exceptional cash flow conversion that positions the business for rapid buyer-led acceleration.
Perhaps most compelling is the significant under-marketing of this proven platform. Despite achieving a strong 7.7x blended return on advertising spend, recent scaling tests validate that the business has substantial room for immediate revenue expansion through increased marketing investment. The company has identified clear, high-value growth levers including advertising optimization, subscription model enhancement, cross-selling and bundling opportunities, user experience improvements, and wholesale channel expansion—all achievable within the existing infrastructure. Growing subscription revenue further demonstrates the durability of the business model and provides a foundation for predictable, recurring cash flow that a strategic buyer could amplify through focused execution and capital deployment.

Project Wash

The Company is a vertically integrated SaaS platform purpose-built for the laundromat industry, combining payments, machine control, and operational intelligence in a single system. Proprietary, patent-protected hardware provides universal OEM compatibility and enterprise-grade 915 MHz wireless reliability and security, a critical differentiator versus Bluetooth-dependent competitors. The platform supports fully cashless, hybrid, and coin-enabled environments, and earns credit card residuals.

The U.S. laundry services market exceeds $10 billion and is projected to grow at over 6% CAGR through 2030. With approximately 56% of laundromats still heavily coin-dependent, the modernization opportunity is massive and early-stage. The competitive landscape is fragmented, with most providers offering partial solutions that lack deep machine integration, creating a clear opening for a fully integrated platform.

Revenue is generated through one-time hardware, recurring SaaS subscriptions, and payment processing residuals, with recurring and residual streams representing over 60% of gross revenue and growing. Customers experience an average 23% revenue increase within six months of deployment, driving approximately 95% retention and compelling unit economics with the potential to nearly double APRU.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a fully developed, enterprise-grade platform serving a recession-resistant market undergoing rapid digitalization. An experienced leadership team with deep domain expertise in payments, cybersecurity, and laundry equipment technology has built a modern, scalable architecture with significant IP defensibility. The platform is purpose-built for strategic integration, whether as a distribution accelerant for equipment OEMs, a payments channel for processors, or a data and control layer for multi-site operators seeking consolidation.
