We are an M&A accelerator

Oasis Mergers & Acquisitions is building a high-speed M&A platform that buys small, under-performing businesses, fixes them fast, and sells them for a profit.

We find overlooked companies with stable cash flow, acquire them at low multiples using creative deal structures, and rapidly improve their operations. We use a repeatable playbook and proprietary AI software to: streamline costs, upgrade systems, strengthen management, and combine multiple businesses into one larger, more valuable company. Then we exit through resale or IPO.

Our goal is to make the roll-up model accessible, fast, and aggressive, like an assembly line for turning small companies into larger, profitable ones. We do what traditional brokers and passive investors don’t: we actively unlock hidden value and scale it.

We’re in the pre-startup phase. We don’t have a product yet. We’re at the planning and design stage, building the strategy, deal pipeline and MVP. We’re using YC as a launch: to run a manual version of our system, prove it works, and then build the tech to scale it.

I’ve been working on this project for about 5 years. I started before finishing high school. Back then it wasn’t called Oasis and it wasn’t a tech company. Since then, I’ve spent as much of my free time as possible studying business, M&A practices, and corporate strategy. Over time, the idea evolved into what Oasis is today. Right now, I’m still pre-launch and part-time, but fully committed to pushing this forward full-time through YC.

The idea has not changed. This is my second time but we have not pivoted.

I have not participated in any incubator or accelerator program.

I’ve been passionate about M&A since high school. I got early exposure to the industry and was fortunate to be mentored by professionals in M&A and real estate development. Over the years, I’ve studied how traditional M&A is done and saw an opportunity: most small businesses are undervalued and poorly optimized, but brokers and buyers often don’t actively grow them. I picked this idea because I believe there’s a massive untapped opportunity to apply a repeatable system that aggressively unlocks this value and rolls it up.

Many companies in space are dominated by the top 10% of buyers and sellers. That being many businesses that are already evaluated at over 1 million dollars get the majority of the attention from the majority of buyers who have the capital to buy these businesses. This creates a bottleneck for buyers and sellers, often forcing buyers to overpay often in a bidding war style manner. While for sellers of businesses below the million dollar mark they often suffer from months or years of no interest from buyers as they are stuck interacting with buyers from the bottom 10% who lack funds to purchase them at evaluation. This can force sellers to sell at a fraction of their true worth, or in rare cases at a loss.

We make money through an equity-based model: we acquire small businesses with stable cash flows (typically at 3–5x EBITDA), improve operations to boost EBITDA by at least 25%, roll them up into larger entities, and exit at higher multiples (5–10x or more). In some cases, we merge multiple sellers into one company and retain an equity stake (around 20%), earning at exit with no upfront capital. Each 4-business cycle can generate $1–9M in profit, and we plan to repeat this process with larger EBITDA targets as the company grows ($180k–$1M+), allowing us to scale profits into eight figures while aligning our incentives with our portfolio companies’ success.

We will be a registered Delaware C-corp. With a generic board and management system. We do have an altered Chairman and CEO position, to have a stronger focus on shared responsibility.

Not at this time.

Joshua Policarpo and Aman Rathore do the technical work for Oasis right now. Joshua is a co-founder of CycleSyncAI but not a co-founder of Oasis. He’s helping with the early technical development as an external contributor. Aman is also not a co-founder, he is a professional freelancer who prefers his independence and flexibility in his work.

No, we have no severe problems.

I've always been interested in the advancement of Food technology. Primarily rice, I believe a super food could be made from rice grains if the correct chemistry is perfected. Creating a Rice that could cover all the macros and micros a person needs in a meal, while still retaining, the color, texture and taste of traditional white Japonica rice. Erasing silent hunger and changing the world for both those who "Eat to live", "Live to eat" and "Love to live for the sake of cooking"

That just because something is more expensive doesn't mean it's better. I was doing work for a tech company that does services for online casinos. They had these expensive card counting machines that worked less than 50% of the time. Why? Because they were over engineered and needed to be running for 24hrs a day 7 days week all year long. They originally used these bare bone machines that worked over 90% of the time. The funny thing is the old machines cost way less and worked way more. This was a billion dollar tech company and they were willing to lose millions every year just to justify the cost and use of the new machines that failed all the time.

I’ve wanted to join YC ever since I first discovered it. No one introduced me, I found it on my own while teaching myself about startups. I haven’t been to any YC events yet, but I see this as the first step toward being part of the YC community and building something big with your support.

I first discovered Y Combinator in 2021 on YouTube while self-educating about startups and founders. Back then, I didn’t think my idea, which wasn’t yet a tech company. Really fit YC’s culture. But after years of refining the concept, I realized my company was always meant for YC.
