ACQUISITION DETAILS

Market Data
INVESTMENT THESIS
The compelling case.
The digital marketing sector is fragmented, aging, and ripe for institutional consolidation. We are the buyer.
Thousands of independent boutique agencies operate without succession plans, modern technology, or institutional backing. Their founders built real businesses with real cash flows and now face an exit with no natural buyer. YC Media Holdings is purpose-built to be that buyer, at scale.
$15M+
EBITDA TARGET
100%
OFF-MARKET
30mo
EXIT WINDOW
I — Market Fragmentation
The sector is populated by thousands of independent owner-operated boutiques with no institutional consolidator. We are filling that vacuum with speed and capital discipline.
II — Motivated Sellers
Aging founders with zero succession plans and outdated technology stacks are motivated to exit. We offer certainty, speed, and founder-respectful transactions.
III — Operational Value Creation
Every acquisition receives an immediate operating playbook: AI modernization, centralized back-office consolidation, and cross-portfolio revenue synergies that standalone operators cannot achieve.
IV — Multiple Arbitrage
We acquire at 2–4× EBITDA. A consolidated platform at $15M+ EBITDA with institutional governance commands 6–10×+ from a strategic buyer.
Target Sectors
Three verticals. One platform.
Digital Marketing Agencies
Performance media, SEO, paid social, and growth marketing agencies with recurring retainer revenue and SMB-to-enterprise client rosters. Our anchor vertical and primary platform strategy.
Affiliate Networks
Performance-based affiliate platforms with proprietary publisher relationships, strong data infrastructure, and high-margin recurring commission revenue.
Healthcare Marketing
Specialized agencies serving senior care, home health, fertility clinics, and medical practices. High switching costs, compliance expertise as a competitive moat.
