During the process we contributed in creating the business and financial plan, teaser and investor presentation, defining the exit strategy, contacting potential investors, evaluating term sheets, negotiating the investment agreement and completing different tasks related to the transaction closing.
As a result of investors’ interest, 1.2M USD capital has been raised for the spinoff company in 2016.
After the successful deal closing, we received a new mandate from Starschema at the end of 2017 to manage their projected transaction with the aim of international – primarily US – expansion and strengthening their leadership position in the region.
