Acquira

Hayden Miyamoto, as CEO and founder, is the central decision-maker for acquisitions and portfolio strategy. The firm operates a centralized deal-sourcing and evaluation process from its Seattle headquarters. Specific investment committee structures, if any exist beyond Miyamoto, have not been publicly detailed.

No. Unlike traditional PE firms that raise blind-pool funds with fixed investment periods, Acquira operates as a permanent-hold holding company. It acquires businesses outright with no predetermined exit timeline, drawing more structural comparison to publicly-traded compounders like Constellation Software or privately-held aggregators like Tiny. The firm does not report a fund structure or limited partner commitments.

The firm uses a multi-channel sourcing strategy that includes direct outreach to founder-owners, inbound interest driven by its public content and Accelerator program visibility, and broker relationships. The publicly-visible operator-training program acts as a funnel — sellers are often attracted to the succession narrative of having their company run by an Acquira-trained operator, which differentiates the firm from purely financial buyers.

The Accelerator is a publicly-available training program that teaches professionals how to acquire and operate small businesses using the search-fund and self-funded acquisition models. It also serves as a talent pipeline for Acquira itself: top-performing participants are considered for operator roles at Acquira portfolio companies, giving the firm a proprietary bench of trained general managers.
