Helping Early-Stage and Emerging Growth Companies Attract a Strategic Premium

Cornice Partners provides merger and acquisition advisory for early-stage and emerging growth technology companies. Our proven process, hands-on approach and depth of experience are just what these companies need to achieve a truly strategic exit.

When young technology companies succeed in attracting a strategic valuation, it's usually driven by their technology, products and expertise rather than the size of their revenue stream or customer base. To maximize opportunities for a successful outcome, our focus is on helping our clients position themselves properly with the right set of potential acquirers. Attracting that strategic premium is our ultimate goal.

Cornice Partners is unique in that we:

• Focus primarily on early-stage and emerging growth companies
  • We have a successful track record of attracting large strategic premiums for very early-stage companies and we understand what it takes to do it.
  • Our deep operating experience and business development skills align strongly with the needs of these companies.
• Provide true hands-on advisory
  • Having been CEOs ourselves, we understand the demands of running an emerging growth company. So we roll up our sleeves and take ownership of the entire M&A effort, becoming a true extension of our clients' management team.
• Get involved early in the process
  • Cornice Partners often gets involved early in a company's decision-making process, helping management teams and their boards identify and evaluate all strategic alternatives, from near-term M&A strategies to long-term independent strategies.
  • In some cases we've been asked to come in 18-24 months prior to an anticipated exit to help formulate and execute a long-term exit strategy.
• Provide only senior-level people with total dedication
  • With Cornice Partners you will work only with senior-level talent. Our client service is unparalleled and our commitment is unwavering because we're there to see the project through to a successful outcome — whatever it takes.
• Bring an extensive network of contacts along with deep domain expertise
  • In support of each client's unique business objectives, we tap into a wealth of industry contacts cultivated through decades of technology industry experience
  • We also have access to over 500 former and current CEO's through our exclusive affiliation with the Interim CEO Network
