A permanent home for businesses
Teamshares is a tech-enabled acquiror of high quality businesses. We programmatically acquire companies with $0.5 to $10 million EBITDA from retiring owners, integrate them with the Teamshares platform, and help employees earn company stock.
Win-win business model
We're building a permanent home for thousands of small and medium sized businesses, where employees earn company stock.

70%
of small businesses fail to sell
The problem
Small to medium sized businesses are the backbone of the economy. But when their owners retire, 70% fail to find a buyer, often forcing them to shut their doors for good.
When that happens, everyone loses: the owner's retirement and legacy, the employees' livelihoods, and a business the community depends on.
Our solution
Teamshares buys small to medium sized businesses from retiring owners and helps employees earn company stock. We believe aligning incentives through employee ownership is a win-win, with better outcomes for the business and its employees.
As a permanent home, Teamshares keeps these businesses local and solves succession for good.
Creating the world we want to live in
Creating the world we want to live in
In 2019 the Teamshares founders decided to start a company for one simple reason: to create the world they want to live in.
This inspired our mission: to be a permanent home for small businesses and the people who keep them running. It also applies to us. We owe it to ourselves and to each other to make Teamshares the best place we've ever worked, by leading with our values and reimagining company culture.
