THE OPERATING SYSTEM
BEHIND EVERY ACQUISITION.
HawkEye installs the CRM, data, AI, and automation investors and portfolio companies need to grow revenue, see the numbers, and build enterprise value from day one — with first wins live in 14 days and core revenue infrastructure operational within 30.
The Problem
YOU DIDN'T BUY A
BUSINESS TO RUN IT ON
STICKY NOTES.
Most lower middle market companies run on the founder's memory, a whiteboard, and a website from 2014. Then the founder steps back, and the revenue engine goes with him. You can't scale what you can't see.
Revenue lives in one person's head
Customer history, pricing, and relationships walk out the door at transition.
No source attribution
You're spending on marketing and can't tell which dollar produced which job.
Reporting is a monthly fire drill
Numbers arrive late, in spreadsheets, and nobody trusts them.

Can your customers actually do business with you?
We try to buy from you. Then we show you everywhere we got stuck.
Companies spend thousands, sometimes hundreds of thousands, on ads and AI while customers hit dead phone numbers, broken forms, and links that go nowhere. Every one of those is revenue walking out the door. Before you spend another dollar on growth, find out what's leaking.
What we test
- Calling your business, during and after hours
- Every form, button, link, and chat on your website
- Where your ads actually send people
- How fast and how well you follow up
- Confirmations, emails, and texts your system sends
- Whether you can track where your leads come from
What you get

- One-page Front Door Scorecard with every leak, ranked by revenue impact
- Exactly how to fix each one
- 30-minute debrief call with Ryan

Founder
Ryan Lamothe
Ryan has sat on both sides of the table. He built and sold a vertical marketing company to a PE-backed platform, and today he sources and structures lower middle market acquisitions as an independent sponsor.
A Marine Corps veteran, he builds the systems he would want in his own portfolio: simple, measurable, and built to survive the founder stepping back.
