I'm Matt Rothberg.
I'm an entrepreneur like you,
and I'd like to buy your business.
Backed by experienced investors with the capacity to fund up to $35 million for acquisitions and follow-on growth, I offer sellers speed, certainty, and a thoughtful transition.
A Different Kind of Buyer
You’ve built this business over decades. You deserve a buyer who cares about more than just the quarter’s bottom line.
Private Equity
- Portfolio approach (1 of 20)
- Short-term hold (3-5 years)
- Cost-cutting & "synergies"
- Managed by junior associates
Strategic Buyer
- Absorbed into corporate machine
- Loss of company identity
- Redundant employees let go
- Legacy often disappears
Montrose Legacy
- Sole focus: You are the priority
- Long-term: No exit timeline
- Growth focus: Investing in people
- Hands-on: I sit in your chair
A Successful Operator Ready to Continue Your Legacy
I started my career fixing computers out of the back of my car—initially just helping neighbors and friends on Long Island solve their tech headaches. As the calls multiplied, it turned into something real: I founded a small IT services business and quickly learned to scale beyond myself. Before long, I was managing a team, introducing standardized processes, and serving hundreds of homes, local businesses, and senior-care facilities. After years of steady growth, loyal clients, and valuable lessons about pricing, margins, and service excellence, I successfully sold my book of business to a local operator.
My next chapters took me into the heart of enterprise tech. At Cisco, I dove deep into complex networks where milliseconds could mean millions of dollars—trading floors, disaster recovery trucks, and edge computing environments. I learned the ropes of navigating large organizations, partnering with demanding clients, and turning intricate technical problems into clear, practical solutions.
After Cisco, I joined WWT, stepping into a global role leading complex commercial accounts. There, I sharpened my skills running cross-functional teams and saw firsthand how critical operational discipline is—especially around pricing, procurement, and logistics—to drive consistent profitability and customer satisfaction.
Now, backed by experienced investors with the capacity to fund acquisitions up to $35 million, I'm coming back to what I love most: hands-on leadership.
