TechServe Alliance M&A Marketplace, a service specializing in M&A advisory for the tech staffing sector, announced it recently facilitated the acquisition of IRIS Consulting LLC, an IT staffing and consulting firm based in Maple Grove, MN, by Javelin IT Consulting and Staffing, based in Georgia.

The deal ensures that the leadership of IRIS remains actively involved post-acquisition, providing continuity for employees, clients, and partners while benefiting from Javelin’s expanded network and resources, said Dan Jones, owner of IRIS.

“Steve Norris of the TechServe M&A Marketplace team provided invaluable guidance throughout the process. He was there every step of the way, ensuring I was well-informed, answering my questions, and keeping the deal moving forward. I truly appreciated his dedication and expertise.” Jones said.

Javelin was an ideal match for IRIS both culturally and strategically, Jones added. The alignment in values, leadership approach, and industry experience made for a seamless transition. The new partnership enables IRIS to expand its reach, leverage new business opportunities, and continue thriving on a national scale.

“We were thrilled to work alongside Dan and help him navigate this significant transition,” said Steve Norris, Consultant at TechServe M&A Marketplace. “Our focus is always on finding the right fit—not just financially, but strategically and culturally. This acquisition positions IRIS for long-term success, and we’re excited to see what the future holds for them.”
