Livmo, the sell-side M&A firm for founder-owned SaaS, AI, and digital businesses, advised InfoSentience through a competitive process ending in its acquisition by the publicly listed group.
San Diego, CA, California, United States, September 15, 2026 /MarketersMEDIA/ -- Livmo today announced it served as the exclusive sell-side advisor to InfoSentience, an innovator in automated, data-driven natural language generation founded by Steve Wasick, in its acquisition by The Arena Group Holdings, Inc., the technology, brand, data and IP company operating as Paradium.AI.
The transaction is the culmination of a competitive process that Livmo managed from preparation through closing, drawing interest from multiple strategic acquirers. Over fourteen years, InfoSentience built a deterministic natural language generation engine trusted by elite partners to produce accurate, high-volume content at scale, a track record that made the company a strategic fit for an acquirer transforming from traditional publishing into a technology platform.
"Steve spent fourteen years building deterministic AI before the market understood what that meant, and this outcome reflects that patience," said Khaled Azar, Founder of Livmo. "Our job was to run a process worthy of the technology, bring multiple strategic parties to the table, and protect the value Steve and his shareholders created. Founder-owned AI and software companies are being acquired at a pace we have never seen, and deals like this show what is possible when the story is told right."
"We always believed deterministic AI would matter the moment accuracy at scale became non-negotiable, and this acquisition proves it. Joining The Arena Group gives our engine reach we could never have built alone, and Livmo made sure we arrived on the strongest terms," said Steve Wasick, Founder of InfoSentience.
"The acquisition of InfoSentience represents a pivotal shift from traditional publishing to a robust technology infrastructure," said Ryan Bonini, General Manager, Sports & Leisure at The Arena Group, in the company's announcement of the transaction. "By integrating InfoSentience's deterministic language generation, we believe that we are providing the scale and sophistication required for creators and brands to excel in an AI-driven landscape. This technology enhances our editorial capabilities and empowers media entrepreneurs with data-driven reach that was previously unattainable independently."
The engagement adds to Livmo's track record of exits for founder-owned technology companies. Livmo was recognized with a Axial Top Deal Award and focuses exclusively on sell-side representation of SaaS, AI, and digital businesses, guiding founders from valuation and positioning through competitive buyer processes and closing.
