Two partners. Every engagement.
When you engage iMerge, you work directly with the people below — not a deal team of associates. 25+ years navigating complex software and SaaS transactions, combining deep M&A experience with modern, data-driven execution.
Career highlights
Michael Gravel is the Founder and Managing Partner of iMerge Advisors. With 30 years of M&A experience, he has led more than 100 successful sell-side transactions for software and technology-enabled businesses, with deep expertise in AI, SaaS, and data-driven platforms. Michael specializes in representing founder-led companies and guiding CEOs and founders through valuation, strategic positioning, and full-cycle M&A execution.
His advisory work has resulted in outcomes with strategic acquirers such as Zillow Group (NASDAQ: Z), Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO), Consensus Cloud Solutions (NASDAQ: CCSI), international buyers, and private equity platforms. Michael is known for his hands-on approach, rigorous preparation process, and ability to drive competitive processes that maximize shareholder value.
Beyond the deal table
When he’s not advising founders, Michael can often be found outdoors with his three daughters. Together, they’ve taken their Airstream across the United States and Canada, visiting nearly every major national park and exploring wilderness areas few families ever experience.
Michael also enjoys action-sports photography, cooking, and studying financial markets — an avid student of market structure, macro forces, and behavioral dynamics. He is involved in several charitable initiatives supporting youth programs, education, and animal welfare.
Expertise
Todd has worked on sell side and buy side transactions at iMerge, including Zillow Group's acquisition of Virtual Staging AI and Valsoft's acquisition of Datatrac. As Managing Director, Todd leads engagements directly, both on his own and alongside Michael, never delegating them to associates.
Todd has more than 25 years of experience in software, private equity, negotiation, and international business development.
