Our client is a holdings company backed by private investors. The company is led by seasoned executives, each with over 15 years experience developing and growing multi-million dollar business units within middle market technology and telecom companies. One of the principles has a strong sales, marketing, and technical background, including an MBA in Technology Marketing and a MS in Computer Information Systems, and would assume an operational role in the acquired company as the CEO, President, or similar. Another principle is an attorney with significant internal operational and contracting experience and would assume an Executive Vice President or similar role.
Our client can be characterized as a healthy mid-point between an operator and an investment group. As an operator, the principles will take a hands-on role to partner with management to capitalize on existing strengths and exploit the experience and talents that the principles bring. As an investment group, a strategic approach and long term vision is at the core, with sound business planning and industry analysis. The result is an acquiring company that brings the best of both a hands-on owner/operator and the best of an investment group, without the restraints traditionally imposed by venture capital style investment groups.

planning / design / implementation / testing, IT governance, systems management, program management, operations management, and business development. The group is experienced in both commercial and government sectors.
The buyer group can be characterized as a healthy mid-point between an operator and an investment group. As an operator, the group will take a hands-on role to partner with management to capitalize on existing strengths and exploit the strengths that the buyer group brings. As an investment group, a strategic approach and long term vision is at the core, with sound business planning and industry analysis. The result is a buyer that brings the best of both a hands-on owner operator and an investment group, without the restraints traditionally imposed by venture capital investment groups.
The company to be acquired will be an information technology service or product company (including software), or may be a company in a non-technical industry whose solution is technology enabled. The company should have positive cash flow and the ability to expand its services, product lines, customer base, or geographical reach. The target company may be a niche player with an elite product or service, or a more main stream solutions provider or value added reseller. In all cases, the buyer group would put in place a strategy to exploit the strengths of the company for growth, whether by adding very specialized services to an existing VAR business model, exploiting an existing niche capability, or adding a portfolio of consulting or managed services. The target company should cater to the small/medium business market, potentially with some Fortune 1000 customers. Companies that sell to the Federal, State, and Local Government market places are also of interest.
