Welcome to Performit Group!

We are a team of experienced individuals who bring years of investing and sourcing experience to the table for our client’s searches.

The first and most important question you’re likely asking is: "What sets Performit Group apart?" Let's dive into that.Unlike many traditional acquisition search firms, we're not bankers. We've spent most of our careers on the buy-side, as investment professionals at firms with over $4B in AUM. This gives us a unique perspective and enables a high-value, high-touch model. Additionally, we operate a partner-led, retained-search model with only one engagement per sector at any time, ensuring exclusivity and avoiding conflicts of interest.

But we don't stop there.

We utilize leading-edge enterprise sales technology and evidence-based, omni-channel outreach strategies to drive higher conversion rates at scale. Our rigorous pre-qualification process ensures that only high-quality leads make it through the filter, providing maximum operating leverage for our clients. And we combine high-touch research with AI-driven data extraction tools to conduct exhaustive searches with differentiated breadth, depth, and specificity. Every aspect of our process is meticulously planned out, from defining investment criteria to designing bespoke outreach campaigns, executing them, and providing regular updates.

Performit Group is led by myself (Dan Bjornson) and CJ Heinz. We both bring a wealth of experience in operations and investing. My background includes operational roles at venture-backed SaaS startup Sailthru and investment roles at Five Elms Capital, a $1B+ software-focused growth equity fund. CJ has a background in both public and private investing, with experience at Cobalt Ventures and Gates Capital Management.

We've completed searches across a wide range of industries, from SaaS to business services, healthcare to manufacturing, and nearly every vertical in between. Our extensive industry knowledge and experience enable us to provide bespoke solutions tailored to each client's specific needs.

Performit Group is here to revolutionize the way you approach your searches. We're excited to embark on this journey and redefine the process through innovation and expertise. Welcome to Performit Group!
