Who We Are

About LinkUp Capital

At LinkUp Capital, we specialize in two core areas: M&A consulting and global sourcing. Whether preparing for an exit, raising capital, looking to grow through acquisition, or optimizing your sourcing, we provide focused support tailored to your specific goals.

Our work spans two specialties:

M&A Services:

For outdoor brands and financial sponsors seeking to buy or sell lower middle market businesses

Global Sourcing:

Helping outdoor brands reduce costs through optimized purchasing solutions

Whether you’re preparing to sell, raising capital, planning an acquisition, or sourcing overseas, we provide targeted, strategic support aligned with your goals.

Outdoor Focus – Global Reach

At LinkUp Capital, we turn complex transactions into clear opportunities. Our specialized services are designed for outdoor brands and lower-middle-market businesses ready to sell, raise, acquire, or optimize their sourcing.
