Our success rate is very high. Unlike other investment banks, we don’t waste time. We only sign a contract with a potential client if we get serious indication from an investor within our network, usually right before we receive a term sheet. This is why our success rate is so high, we only sign once we are sure the investment will go through.
Absolutely. More than once, following an investment, the company was introduced to one of the funds LP that commenced to a commercial partnership.
We always favor software solution companies but we are open for exceptions. In order for us to get involved and support the company, it would have to have initial revenue usally series A, B, C+.
Debt capital is a very useful tool but could cause great trouble if used wrongly or managed poorly. We would be happy to discuss if relevant once we get yo know you better.
