From the search, through the close, into running the business you bought. Call whenever something is on your mind. Chi (pronounced “Kai”) remembers every deal, decision, and number you share, so nothing gets forgotten and you never keep notes. It answers with what actually worked for buyers in your spot. And once you own the business, it can do the one thing no chatbot can: coach your key people, and bring you what they know.
Already a member? Call Chi on +1 (000) 000-0000.
Keep your buy box honest, pressure test every deal against it, and learn from your own pass reasons instead of repeating them. Chi remembers every deal you have looked at and why you walked.
Diligence questions you have not thought to ask, the arithmetic on price and structure done out loud, and a thesis written down before you wire the money. Talk it through at 11pm the night before the seller call.
Capture what the seller knows before they walk out the door, learn what your team actually sees, and hold the business against the thesis you bought it on. Chi keeps score with you, week after week.
No app to learn and no dashboard to maintain. It is a phone number that answers day and night, and a record of your search, your deal, and your business that builds itself from your own words.
“The seller just told me revenue dipped 12 percent this quarter. Do I walk, retrade, or hold my price? Talk it through with me.”
“Your thesis assumed flat revenue, so a 12 percent dip is a price conversation, not a walk. At your structure, every 10 percent off the price cuts your loan payment more than the dip cuts profit. Let me run it with you before you call the broker.”
Every deal you passed on and why, every diligence answer, every decision and result. Month six picks up exactly where month five ended.
Advice grounded in what buyers at your stage actually did and what came of it, not generic ideas any chatbot can list.
An estimated multiple of profit for the business you are evaluating or running, so every week connects to the value you are building.
Sourcing, diligence, valuation, deal structure, transitions, and operations, drawn from buyers, operators, and M&A advisors who do this for a living.
A chatbot gives general business advice from everywhere and nowhere.
Every deal, number, and decision you have ever shared is in the room on every call. Nothing gets re-explained, nothing gets forgotten.
A chatbot starts every conversation from what you paste into it.
Members share their results anonymously and get everyone else's lessons back. When you weigh a move, you hear how it went for buyers who already made it.
A chatbot has never watched anyone try anything.
The EBITDA multiple of your business updates after every call. When something you tried moves it, you see it, and so does the coach.
A chatbot gives an answer and never finds out what happened.
And the one thing no chatbot will ever do: sit with your managers, week after week, and bring you what your business actually knows.
How that worksA GENERIC CHATBOT
“It depends on several factors. Consider why revenue declined, whether it is temporary, and how it affects your valuation. You could ask for a price reduction or additional protections. Ultimately it depends on your risk tolerance and the specifics of the deal.”
CHI
“Renegotiate, do not walk. Your thesis assumed flat revenue with upside from pricing, so a dip breaks the price, not the deal. At your structure, 10 percent off the price cuts your loan payment by more than the dip cuts profit. Ask for the customer level detail first: if the dip is one account, this is a discount conversation. And remember you passed on two deals for concentration; check that before you re-price. What did the seller say caused it?”
Every highlighted fact is something a chatbot does not have. The difference is not the model. It is what the model knows about you.
Small companies typically trade somewhere between three and five times EBITDA. Where a specific business lands comes down to a short list: growth, margins, revenue retention, customer concentration, and how much still depends on the owner. Chi scores the business you are evaluating or running on all of them after every call, names the biggest opportunity, and works the plan with you. The same score that tells you what to pay is the score you push up once you own it.
Anonymized patterns from the buyers Chi coaches, plus what we see in small company deal flow. Free, and where every member starts.
The people one level down, the ops manager, the senior tech, the bookkeeper of twelve years, see what an owner cannot. They know what is working, what is quietly broken, and what the seller did that nobody wrote down. Most of them have never been asked.
Same number, their own private record, calls on their schedule. They get coaching they would otherwise pay for. That is why they talk openly: it is for them, not a survey for you.
Individual conversations are never shared with anyone, including you. When a session produces an insight worth passing up, the employee sees the exact card and approves or declines it. Nothing reaches you without their yes, and nothing is ever attributed.
Where delivery is straining, which customers are fragile and why, what the seller knew that is walking out the door, and the ideas your people have been sitting on. Signals you cannot get any other way, because nobody tells the new owner directly.
Plain pricing, no contracts. Members on Coach and Circle share anonymized data with the group and get the group's intelligence back. That trade is the product.
A coach for each key person in the business you own. Opt in and confidential by design: they approve, card by card, anything that reaches you. You get approved insights and themes across the team, never transcripts. Founding members get it first.
In Greek myth, Chiron was the centaur the great figures were sent to learn from. Achilles, Jason, Asclepius. He knew each of them well enough to teach them differently, and he stayed long enough to see how they turned out.
You run the business and you make the calls. Chiron knows your history, tells you the truth about it, and is still there in year three when it matters.
Chiron is onboarding its founding members now.
Chiron recognizes you by caller ID, so use the phone you will actually call from.
