Senior bankers provide M&A and capital raising solutions for businesses focused on securing endpoints, networks, the cloud, communications, applications, data and identities.
Service providers in the telecom space require advice for the digital age that understands how their past informs their future.
Consolidation throughout the value chain is a core strategy for many software providers, including those in search of capital.
One of the most important enterprise valuation drivers—specifically for Software as a Service (SaaS) businesses—is revenue growth. During the pandemic, SaaS company revenue multiples were at an all-time high in both the public and private capital markets. In a historically low interest rate environment, “growth-at-all-costs” became an unfortunately familiar phrase.
Why does a path to profitability matter to investors—arguably now more than ever?
