Vertically Focused Software Applications

We provide expert advisory and execution for vertically focused software providers seeking M&A, capital raising and capital solutions. Our team has experience with developer platforms, consumer-facing applications, B2B marketplaces, and more.

Our senior bankers capitalize on opportunities arising from consolidation throughout the value chain, and convergence-driven acquisition opportunities, on behalf of our clients. We recognize the forces accelerating innovation across key business models, including for public and private vertically focused software providers in search of debt and equity capital.
