Subject: Content moat for 790K customers — worth a look?
John,
With Paycor now integrated, Paychex has the transaction infrastructure. The missing piece is the attention layer — content, events, and certifications that keep HR leaders engaged between purchase decisions.
We advise owners of HR technology and media businesses on strategic options. One company we represent operates exactly that platform: a lead-generation and education engine purpose-built for the HR community.
Paired with Paychex's customer base, this creates organic cross-sell pathways and a defensible content moat no competitor can quickly replicate.
Worth 15 minutes to explore fit?
Best,

Hi John, this is Ewing Gillaspy with Next Chapter Advisory. Congratulations on closing Paycor — impressive integration at that scale.
Quick reason for my call: we advise owners of HR technology and media businesses, and we're working with one whose content and certification platform could plug directly into Paychex's 790K customer base as a lead-gen and engagement engine.
Talking points:
Would 15 minutes this week make sense to explore fit?
John — congrats on the Paycor close. We advise HR tech owners on strategic options and are working with one whose content and certification platform could be a natural fit for Paychex's 790K base. Worth a brief conversation?
Dear Mr. Gibson,
Congratulations on the Paycor integration — bringing 790,000 customers onto a unified platform is no small feat. That scale creates an interesting question: how do you deepen engagement across that base without adding headcount?
Our firm advises owners of HR technology and media businesses on strategic options. We're currently working with the ownership group of a company that operates a content, events, and professional certification platform serving the HR community. Think of it as the attention layer that sits on top of any HCM platform — content, events, certifications, and a vendor directory built for HR leaders.
Would it make sense to explore whether this fits your current priorities? Happy to share more detail.
Best,
Ewing Gillaspy
