SAN FRANCISCO - TelAve -- ExitHero.app and Inorganic today announced their merger to create a unified, AI-powered platform enabling founders to independently plan, manage, and execute their own M&A processes. The combined company will operate under the ExitHero brand, with Paolo DiVincenzo serving as Chief Executive Officer.

The merger brings together Inorganic's AI-driven buyer discovery and process infrastructure with ExitHero's founder-first M&A playbooks and workflow tools. The platform is designed to simplify every stage of the exit journey — from positioning and outreach to negotiation and close — giving founders greater control, transparency, and leverage.

"AI is unleashing an unprecedented wave of startup formation," said David Hehman, investor at Underdog Labs. "But while we've worked tirelessly to open up and democratize the fundraising side of the equation, the exit side remains opaque, relationship-driven, and difficult to navigate. M&A needs to be open-sourced, demystified, and simplified so more founders can achieve great outcomes. Making exits easier isn't just good for founders — it strengthens the entire innovation ecosystem."

The combined platform seeks to change that by offering:

• Guided process management and milestone tracking
• Automated outreach workflows
• Real-time valuation and deal benchmarking insights

"Founders should be able to run a disciplined, competitive process without losing control of their company's narrative," said Paolo DiVincenzo, CEO of ExitHero. "Joining forces allows us to accelerate product development, deepen our buyer intelligence, and give founders a clear, structured path to finding the right long-term home for their company."

As AI lowers the barrier to building new companies, the number of venture-backed startups is expected to grow significantly. Yet the infrastructure for exits has not kept pace. The newly combined company aims to address this imbalance by equipping founders with tools traditionally reserved for institutional advisors.
