About
Tess Ludwig supports agency founders through acquisitions as an Acquisition Associate at Merge. She learns each founder’s story to create a prospectus that explains the business’s distinctive qualities. She markets opportunities and connects founders with qualified buyers. She guides founders through letters of intent, due diligence, and closing. Her approach combines analytical rigor, structure, and empathy for founders’ financial and personal goals. She chose M&A to help founders reach pivotal milestones through lasting partnerships. In one negotiation, she improved cash at close, valuation, and transition terms to reflect the founder’s priorities. Her colleagues describe her as optimistic, supportive, and positive through challenges. Outside work, she enjoys competitive Canasta and recently learned Mah Jong. In college, she ran @annarbor_eats, a food Instagram with over 25K followers, exploring restaurants throughout Ann Arbor.
