The Inside Story
The company certainly had the right stuff ― annual revenue growth of +57% over five years, EBITDA margins of 50%, excellent cash flow, and a strong economic moat. Following a failed process with a well known accounting firm, the owners turned to Sequoia for help.
After several months, we launched a bespoke campaign and within two months, we received eight bonafide letters of intent. The offer was accepted and the sale of the company closed seven months after the engagement began.
