Atlanta, GA - August 31, 2026, Sunbelt Business Brokers - Atlanta (“Sunbelt Atlanta”) is pleased to
announce the acquisition of its client, Speech Buddies, Inc. (“Speech Buddies”), by Inspiration Medical
Technology, Inc.

Speech Buddies, headquartered in San Francisco, California, is a first-in-class provider of solutions designed
to treat speech sound disorders. The company’s patent-protected articulation tools were developed with
both parents and Speech-Language Pathologists in mind, offering an innovative, tactile-based approach to
supporting speech-skill development in children.

Speech Buddies’ proprietary products are utilized by Speech-Language Pathologists in school and clinical
settings, as well as by families seeking to reinforce speech practice at home. By providing hands-on tactile
cues that help children understand and produce target speech sounds, the company has created a
differentiated platform within the pediatric speech-development market.

Inspiration Medical Technology, Inc. is a medical-products company based in St. Paul, Minnesota. Their
flagship product, AllaQuix®, is a line of hemostatic wound dressings designed to help control bleeding. In
2023, Inspiration Medical Technology, Inc. acquired Pehratek, a specialized medical-device company
focused on pediatric audiology equipment, particularly technology that helps audiologists assess the
hearing of infants and young children. Pehratek designs and sells Visual Reinforcement Audiometry (“VRA”)
systems used by audiologists, ENT practices, hospitals, and pediatric clinics.

The strategic alignment between Speech Buddies and Pehratek made Speech Buddies a particularly
attractive acquisition for Inspiration Medical Technology. Together, the companies create a broader
pediatric-focused platform supporting professionals and families involved in children’s hearing,
communication, and speech-skill development. The acquisition is expected to strengthen Inspiration
Medical Technology’s portfolio of specialized pediatric products while preserving Speech Buddies’
established mission of helping children build speech confidence through effective, accessible learning tools.

Sunbelt Atlanta initiated and advised on the sale of Speech Buddies, serving as the exclusive M&A advisor  and guiding ownership through the opinion-of-value process, confidential marketing, buyer qualification,
due diligence, negotiations, and closing. The transaction was led by Dealmaker Raquel Wilson, who
leveraged Sunbelt Atlanta’s targeted sell-side process to position the company with qualified strategic and
financial buyers and structure a transaction aligned with the sellers’ goals.

Owners of pediatric healthcare, medical-product, therapy, education, and specialized consumer-product
businesses considering a sale can benefit from Sunbelt Atlanta’s confidential sell-side process. Sunbelt
Atlanta helps owners identify qualified buyers, maximize value, and structure transactions that support a
smooth transition and long-term business continuity.
