About Acquisition Edge and Remi Taffin.

Remi Taffin spent 15 years in enterprise data engineering before leaving to build Acquisition Edge. The platform came out of a specific observation: by the time a small business shows up on a broker's listing, the window for a favorable deal has mostly closed. The six to twelve months before an owner formally decides to sell — when behavioral signals are visible but no one's watching — is where the real opportunity sits.

Acquisition Edge monitors licensing boards, corporate registries, review platforms, and other public data sources to surface those signals at scale, targeting owner-operated businesses in the $1–30M revenue range who show exit readiness but haven't engaged a broker yet. The scoring model keeps two variables separate: how likely an owner is to sell, and how healthy the underlying business actually is. Both have to score well for a lead to get surfaced.

The platform currently covers Florida manufacturing and home service verticals — HVAC, lawn care, landscaping, roofing, pest control, and engineering firms — industries with high baby boomer ownership concentration where exit signals tend to be readable well before a listing appears. Remi works directly with business brokers and M&A advisors in the lower middle market, with leads delivered on an exclusive-by-territory basis.

Before starting Acquisition Edge, Remi was Director of Engineering at Ordergroove, a B2B SaaS company in the subscription commerce space, where he was promoted from Senior Engineer to Director over three years and managed 4 fully remote engineering teams totaling roughly 25 people. That background — running data infrastructure at scale, rebuilding broken pipelines, and shipping reliably under pressure — is the foundation the platform is built on.
