“Strata assisted us with a complex dual track process that resulted in a successful sale of Holvi to one of the global leaders in digital banking, BBVA. Through a dedicated and insightful process they helped keep up competitive tension, with two attractive yet very different options until the transaction closed. We achieved a great result working with Strata and can offer only the highest recommendation.”

“Strata assisted us in a lengthy process involving preparing the company for investment, putting us in front of the right parties, and ultimately completing a transaction. Their advice was invaluable throughout, but moreover, they went above and beyond to ensure a brilliant result. We would not hesitate to engage them in the future and would wholeheartedly recommend them to other founders and CEOs.”

“We very much enjoyed working with Strata, who understood the dynamics of our business and helped us assemble the materials and analysis we needed to support our transaction. Throughout the twists and turns we encountered in our process, the Strata team consistently brought their deep industry understanding, strong work ethic and unwavering commitment to bear to keep the transaction moving forward – with a bit of humour when we needed it! It was a real pleasure working with them.”

“Strata did a great job finding us the right investors. When the pandemic disrupted our fundraising, they remained committed to helping us succeed – and eventually we closed with SEP. Had Strata not been there to guide us through the process, our deal would almost certainly have failed.”

“Without Strata it would have been very difficult to successfully complete the transaction. Strata were always there to assist with a range of requirements during the process, including a vast recurring revenue data analysis, urgent information requests and valuable strategic advice – even outside of normal working hours. Working with Strata, even under high pressure during one of the most challenging periods of my professional career, was a pleasure, and I personally learnt a lot from their many years of corporate finance expertise.”
