Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Razorhorse Capital?
Razorhorse does not make investment decisions. As a buy-side advisory firm, it originates, qualifies, and supports software and tech-enabled services deals on behalf of its clients, who then make all investment and acquisition decisions. Founder and CEO Austin Scee leads the firm's origination strategy and client relationships.
How does Razorhorse source proprietary deal flow?
The core model relies on direct, research-led outreach to founders, not auction processes or mass-blasted mandates. Razorhorse states that 85% of its deals are proprietary, meaning the target company is not widely circulated. The firm builds credentials through detailed market mapping and front-loaded company analysis, which it uses to earn founder trust and gain an early look before competitive processes emerge.
What investment stages does Razorhorse's client base typically target?
Razorhorse sources deals for clients executing buyouts, growth equity rounds, and strategic acquisitions — essentially every stage from growth-stage venture to mature buyouts, provided the target is a software or tech-enabled services business. The firm itself does not set a stage mandate; its pipeline reflects the mandates of the funds and acquirers it serves.
Where does Razorhorse maintain an active deal footprint?
The firm sources deals in North America, Europe, and Australia, and its disclosed closed-deal locations include the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and France. Sourcing is remote and research-driven, with no publicly listed additional offices beyond its Austin, Texas headquarters.
