Co-Founders
Once we decided to sell the company we started out of college and grew for 30 years, we knew we needed the right M&A advisor with experience in software and SaaS. Fortunately, the decision to team up with SEG was easy and apparent from our very first call. They set incredibly accurate expectations and worked extremely hard to achieve them. As two engineer co-founders, we really appreciated a precise and methodical process which led to a smooth due diligence and outstanding results. We valued their expansive contact lists, expertise in data and financial analyses, and insight into the M&A landscape, which all proved invaluable. SEG helped us find the perfect buyer, and we are very excited about the future of our company under new ownership. Thank you, SEG!"
