How We Started and Where We’re Going

Frank Balcavage
Allen Carey
Our Beginnings

Frank is a serial entrepreneur, having profitably bootstrapped two businesses to over $20m in revenue. Allen worked working in investment banking and M&A for over a decade.

Partnership

We met in 2014 when Allen was on the hunt for great software businesses to represent in M&A and came upon Mathway, which Frank had co-founded in 2006. Although we didn't work on a transaction together until 2020, we communicated regularly in the interim years.

FDC INSPIRATION

Over the years working on M&A transactions for small software companies, Allen repeatedly had the opportunity to work with great, product-oriented founders in growing their businesses and positioning them for acquisition or investment. Likewise, Frank has guided his companies from inception through significant growth to acquisition. These experiences have motivated us to seek out like-minded founders to partner with.
