Strata Partners is an independent European investment banking firm that provides buyside, sellside, capital raising and IPO advisory services to technology, applied technology and media companies. Our areas of expertise include IT services, business process outsourcing (BPO), software, hardware, systems, semiconductors, R&D services, hi-tech engineering, advanced materials, med-tech and new media.
Owned by our people, and combining professionals with investment banking and industry experience, we offer our clients discrete, independent advice, first class transaction execution support and the highest possible level of senior commitment, attention and service. Our team comprises professionals based in London and Germany who cover the key European markets.
For larger, international corporates, we specialise in making smaller, strategically important transactions happen. We have particular expertise in realising value from the sale or spin-out of non-core technologies or divisions and in helping companies enter new markets by identifying and executing acquisitions.
For private equity and venture capital firms, we use our global corporate relationships, deep technology understanding and rigorous project management skills to help realise value from technology and applied technology investments. In a highly competitive market for good quality opportunities, we also use these skills and our extensive corporate network to help financial investors identify and secure attractive leveraged acquisition and venture investment opportunities, often on a proprietary basis.
For emerging growth companies, we judge you not by your current size but by your future potential. With the experience of having established and built our own firm, no minimum transaction threshold and practical technology understanding, we provide the experience, technical expertise and hands-on execution support required to help you secure growth capital.
Before forming Strata Partners in 2002, our professionals gained expertise working for companies such as BP Research, Chase Manhattan, Credit Suisse First Boston, Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, General Electric, IBM, Lucent Technologies, JPMorgan, LSI Logic, Nortel Networks, PriceWaterhouseCoopers, Schindler, Schroder Salomon Smith Barney and ThyssenKrupp.
Strata Partners is the marketing name of Strata Technology Partners LLP, a firm authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority to provide investment banking advisory services in the UK and Continental Europe.
