Why Arendel

Built for the way deals actually work.

Not built for $500M deals, scaled down. Built from day one for the lower-middle-market operator running $5–50M acquisitions with a small team.

The market gap

Enterprise software for enterprise deals.

The major deal-ops platforms were built for $500M+ transactions. They charge $25K–$150K per year, require implementation consultants, and ship at the cadence of enterprise IT. The LMM operator — running 3–8 active deals with a 4-person team — gets ignored.

The Arendel answer

Institutional-grade. Operator-priced.

Same capability surface — data room, AI, modeling, closing, post-close — at $199 to $2,999 per month. Set up in an hour. No consultants. Designed to be used by the GP, not configured by IT.

One product, full lifecycle

From first teaser to 100-day plan.

Most platforms cover one slice of the deal lifecycle. Arendel covers all nine — so your team isn't duct-taping six tools and losing context at every handoff.

The structural moats

Three capabilities that get more valuable with every deal.

∷

Proprietary deal benchmark database

Every closed transaction on Arendel contributes anonymized data on entry multiples, debt structure, seller note rates, earnout terms, working capital pegs, non-compete radii. Segmented by industry, deal size, geography. After 100 closed deals on the platform, you know what the market looks like — from inside it. GF Data charges $3K/yr for the equivalent. Arendel ships it native.

⬕

Pre-vetted lender marketplace

SBA 7(a) lenders, community banks, and mezzanine funds that regularly finance $3–30M acquisitions are organized nowhere. Arendel's lender network lets a buyer submit an anonymized deal profile and receive pre-qualification responses from multiple lenders inside the same platform where the deal is being executed.

⬢

Negotiation memory across all your deals

Every clause negotiated, every position that moved, every price point accepted or rejected — searchable across your firm's entire deal history. Over time you know "in 47 LMM trucking deals, sellers accepted an earnout 68% of the time when base price was within 0.5× of ask." That intelligence cannot be purchased anywhere.

The dogfooding advantage

Built by the first customer.

Legacy Capital runs every live transaction through Arendel. Every friction point we find on a real deal gets fixed before the platform ships to anyone else. No competitor was built this way. Every feature exists because a real deal required it, or was eliminated because no deal ever needed it.
