The team at Sapient Capital Partners was very helpful to us in assessing two recent investment situations and thinking through all aspects of the companies and the risks and challenges that they provided.  They helped us look at several proposed  deal structures and ultimately helped us to make the right decision for Southwest Sun.  They moved quickly and knew exactly where to look and what questions to ask.  We would use them again, particularly as the global economic situation makes private risk capital ever more risky and complex!

Sapient Capital Partners did a great job for Scalar in advising on and executing our first acquisition.  They helped us to analyze and value the target, assess the merits and risks of the transaction, negotiate the best possible terms, and structure the deal with a practical eye to integrating the two companies in a way that minimizes Scalar’s risk but still provides mutual value and upside potential.  Their advice has been valuable to us and always on the mark.

These guys know their stuff and are an invaluable resource for smaller, high-growth technology companies trying to negotiate strategic deals with larger companies or major multinational corporations as customers, joint venture collaborators or channel partners, not to mention suppliers or competitors--sometimes all at the same time!

Val brings together a unique combination of skill-sets and interests in the Canadian financial community.  During the time that I've spent with him in exploring a number of options earlier in my one of my previous companies, he demonstrated an interesting combination of business acumen with a willingness to explore interesting emerging technologies.

We have a rather complex combination of traditional and technology-driven business lines, and really needed help to sort out our corporate vision and core strategies and tactical plans.  Sapient Capital Partners was invaluable in helping us to really think through and hone these key elements.  The result was to get Marketingisland ready to reach the next phase of growth and maturity with new financial and strategic partners. 

Sapient’s partners are easy to work with and have valuable practical insights coming out of a wealth of experience.  They are an excellent resource for high-growth companies.

Good guys with interesting deal flow.  They were very knowledgeable about the company and understood the standard VC prerequisites.

 

 

Sapient Capital Partners really came through for dna13, helping guide us through the Canadian and U.S. venture capital markets, and our ultimate transaction with two leading funds. 

They provided high-value advice and their experience showed throughout the process--no matter what challenges we encountered. 

They spared no effort on our behalf, and backed up their advice with excellent, detailed analysis where it was required.  Their advice was also objective and unbiased—they gave me the unvarnished truth when I wanted it over the course of negotiating and executing the transaction.

I would highly recommend them for any company looking for strategic advice, or looking to finance its growth.

There were so many variables to assess in order to make the right decisions as to whether and when to sell my business, to whom, and for how much.  Sapient really helped me to properly sort through everything and ultimately get to a successful resolution at an excellent valuation, to allow me to focus on new endeavours.  I would strongly recommend Sapient Capital Partners to any business owners looking to realize on their investments.

 

We appreciated the professionalism, diligence, experience and judgment of Sapient Capital Partners during our negotiations in the course of making our investment in KUBRA.  We look forward to working with them again, and would not hesitate to recommend Sapient as corporate advisors.   

  

 

As a company in a dynamic industry with a lot of strategic opportunities and options and not a lot of time or resources to evaluate them, it was invaluable to receive the advice and analysis of Sapient Capital Partners. 

The experience and insight of their senior partners really showed through in their recommendations and ongoing advice over the course of their Strategic Assessment for KUBRA and the subsequent transaction with Clairvest.  They were practical, effective and quick on the draw. 

Bottom line, Sapient Capital Partners has been a great partner to KUBRA.  We would have no hesitation to recommend them to private companies who need good independent financial, strategic or capital markets advice.

I had a strong vision of the company I wanted to create in my MBO.  Sapient Capital Partners helped me flesh out my vision, determine the corporate structure and the terms of the deal, and gave me a realistic sense of what I could expect, bringing a depth of experience with the needs and requirements of institutional investors.

And a real pleasure to work with.  Highly recommend them.

My company, after 28 years in business, found itself in difficulty and in need of an unemotional, outside evaluation and strategy.

Sapient Capital Partners helped guide me through a very difficult period in my business.  They entered the picture, quickly got a handle on the issues, and skillfully dealt with the restructuring of my business.

Sapient is a firm that can not only analyze a complex situation quickly, but also wade in effectively and deal directly with the complexities and personalities involved to get the job done.

Sapient facilitated a one-stop service including marketing, personnel, financial, legal and strategic.  Sapient did the necessary job and got us up and running on a new path in less than 6 months.

I would wholeheartedly recommend Sapient as an advisor to private businesses.
