LEANDER, TX, April 14, 2026 (EZ Newswire) -- Jake Brydon, a veteran operator in the industrial services and sales technology sectors, announced today that he has finalized two strategic exits totaling $112 million. The transactions — the sale of RoofLink to Diversus Management in late 2024 and the acquisition of Heritage Construction in February 2026 — mark the conclusion of a 13-year dual-track development cycle characterized by vertical integration and high-margin operational modeling.

Institutional Growth and Vertical Integration

Founded in 2013, Heritage Construction achieved a $60 million annual revenue run rate while maintaining a lean corporate structure of fewer than five full-time office employees. Under Brydon’s direction, the firm achieved a 14% EBITDA margin, significantly outperforming the industry average of 5–7%.

This efficiency was facilitated by the internal development of RoofLink, a proprietary CRM and job management platform. Originally engineered to mitigate overhead at Heritage, RoofLink evolved into a market-facing SaaS solution. Its eventual acquisition by Diversus Management — the private equity group behind SalesRabbit — underscores the platform's technical authority within the field sales ecosystem.

Strategic M&A and Market Discipline

Brydon’s approach to the 2026 Heritage exit was informed by a decade of market observation. After declining a $20 million valuation offer several years prior, Brydon executed a self-funded growth playbook that nearly tripled the asset’s value before the final $55 million sale.

"Strategic exits should be a byproduct of peak operational health, not a reaction to market fatigue," says Brydon. "By building RoofLink and Heritage in parallel, we created a closed-loop system where the technology validated the service model, and the service model provided the R&D for the technology."

Legal Advocacy and Civic Trustworthiness

Parallel to his commercial ventures, Brydon directed a five-year legal and investigative campaign that led to a landmark wrongful-conviction exoneration in the State of Texas. This effort, documented in the Showtime series "Outcry," demonstrates a commitment to systemic integrity and due process — values that Brydon translates into his "Wired Different" operational philosophy.

Future Engagements

Following these exits, Brydon remains active in his diversified portfolio, including Agua Nada Ranch and ProSwag. He is scheduled to deliver a keynote on leadership and operational scaling alongside John Maxwell in Greenville, SC, in April 2026, coinciding with the release of his tactical business manual, "Wired Different."
