ABOUT

About Baton Strategies

Baton Strategies was created by entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs that want to further build out their companies or find the right buyer to acquire their business. When a business owner wants to sell their business, we can help them valuate their company, find potential buyers, and broker/guide the deal (with the emotional roller coaster included) all the way to close. We invest a lot of time educating through social media on “Entrepreneurship through Acquisition” as well as networking and we’ve built a contact list of thousands of investors and thousands of operators in order to always find the right buyers/operators to fit your business. Let our network be your network.

Trent Bates spent his formative working years at serval startups working as an electrical engineer in the emerging GPS security market. The small companies allowed Trent to see how the entire business was run especially at TQI Systems where he was the third employee and a junior partner. Trent took a role at Dell Technolgies where he was able to transition to a business role with the product management team. Trent now is heading up Baton Strategies expansion into Texas.

METHODOLOGY

What we observe

DealLedger publishes what is publicly displayed. Broker records aggregate every observed listing tied to this firm across our sources. Counts above reflect distinct listings observed, not closed transactions confirmed by the broker.

We do not have direct visibility into which listings sold. When a listing stops appearing in our scrapes, we mark it as no longer observed — but we do not claim it sold. Some close; some withdraw; some are re-listed under a new ID; some are simply missed by our scraper. We surface the observation; you draw the conclusion.
