- Business
- Teamshares Inc. operates as a tech-enabled acquiror of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that provides a permanent home for retiring owners by acquiring their businesses and applying scalable, software-driven sourcing and integration processes. The company sources and closes acquisitions programmatically, targets businesses typically generating between $0.5 million and $5 million of EBITDA, and combines these acquisitions into a diversified portfolio across multiple industries to drive value creation and continuity for sellers, employees, and investors. Headquartered in Paris, France, Teamshares also maintains a presence in the United States and operates through subsidiaries that manage acquisitions, integrate platforms, and oversee portfolio management.
Main products and services
- Acquisition framework and deal sourcing software: proprietary, algorithm-driven sourcing of tens of thousands of for-sale SMEs annually, enabling efficient identification and evaluation of potential targets; tools support due diligence, financial modeling, and deal execution.
- SME acquisition platform and portfolio integration: end-to-end support for acquiring, integrating, and managing a diversified SME portfolio; post-close onboarding, operating improvements, and governance structures to stabilize and scale acquired units.
- Capital formation and investor services:PIPE-equity and ongoing capital-raising activities for growth, including institutional investor relationships, equity financing, and strategic partnerships; coordination with lead investment managers to secure funds for acquisitions.

Latest major changes
- Public market listing and SPAC merger completion: completes the business combination with Live Oak Acquisition Corp. V and lists on Nasdaq, with common stock and warrants trading under TMS and TMSWW; this transition broadens access to public capital and enhances liquidity for shareholders. The PIPE financing of approximately $126.5 million supports scale-up of acquisition activity and portfolio expansion. These events mark a strategic pivot to a public-market growth trajectory and capacity to pursue larger or more numerous SME acquisitions.
- Rapid portfolio expansion post-transaction: since 2020, the company grows its operating portfolio to a substantial level (dozens of acquired entities across hundreds of millions in revenue), underpinned by a scalable sourcing technology and disciplined integration approach; the public listing follows continued pipeline development and execution capability.
- Brand and ticker transition: after the SPAC merger, Teamshares adopts a public-market identity, with new Nasdaq tickers, signaling formal governance, enhanced disclosure, and broader investor access, while continuing to execute on its SME acquisition model.
- Investor and conference activity: management commits to investor outreach and conference participation to communicate the business model, growth plan, and portfolio performance to public-market investors.
