CrewBloom, a New York-based provider of remote staffing services, will likely engage in talks with potential buyers in around two years, said co-owner Kate Pavia.

By that time, the company, with annual revenue of roughly $7 million, hopes to reach the $10 million milestone, which will attract more suitors, said Pavia, who founded CrewBloom in 2016 with co-owner Brianna Carney.

This year, CrewBloom spoke with a prospective private equity bidder as well as a third-party agency seeking to connect the firm to logical buyers, she noted, but no deal was reached because “investors really want to see [serious] growth.” CrewBloom only achieved 15% revenue growth last year and wants to boost that figure this year, she added.

Pavia, who works out of Japan while Carney is based in New York, said the company would likely pursue an outright sale versus divesting a minority stake. The two execs could stay on for three to six months following a purchase, depending how long they are needed by the new owner, she suggested.

CrewBloom doesn’t use an external financial adviser but anticipates hiring one when it pursues a sale, said Pavia. Its corporate law firm its L&F Brown PC.

She named Athena and Wing Assistant as competitors in the space but noted that Athena has more of a focus on executive assistant staffing, versus roles like healthcare support and AI specialists that will “serve an exponential need” in the remote staffing sector.

CrewBloom was way ahead of the curve in capitalizing on the benefits of remote work and, naturally, its performance skyrocketed during COVID-19, Pavia noted.
