Acquisition Process

From Evaluation to Integration

01

Preliminary Assessment

We begin with discussions to understand the company’s strengths, leadership perspective, and long-term vision as well as a review of the company’s key product offering and financial metrics to confirm alignment with our investment model and provide an initial indication of interest.

02

Due Diligence Process

We conduct a thorough assessment of the product, customer base, financial performance, and market positioning to confirm our preliminary assumptions and refine our strategic plan for the company.

03

Agreement & Transition

Once aligned, we collaborate with leadership to ensure a smooth, structured transition for all stakeholders including customers and employees.

04

Integration & Support

After acquisition, we work closely with the leaders of the organization to roll out our strategic plan - maintaining autonomy while providing strategic guidance, operational resources, and reinvestment to support long-term performance.

Our goal is to reinforce what works and help each company to scale over time under operational excellence settings.
