Launch of the Deal Accelerator
Successful financings and exits aren’t achieved overnight - they are almost always the result of careful planning.
However, preparation can be difficult for technology companies, who are so busy growing that they often have limited bandwidth to get ready for a funding round or sale.
North Ridge Partners has developed a solution: the Deal Accelerator. It’s a fast, efficient and inexpensive process that starts with an online diagnostic tool to assess your transaction-readiness, followed by a series of sprints over two days to optimise your preparedness.
In as little as two days we can have you ready to launch your financing or exit transaction!
Diagnostic Tool
Our Transaction-Ready Diagnostic scores your company’s preparedness to launch and close a successful deal. Developed based on our experience from hundreds of M&A and capital raising transactions, it has been extensively stress-tested.
The test is free, it takes around 15 minutes to complete, and it instantly scores your transaction-readiness out of 100. Your identity, your answers and your score will be confidential and anonymous.
Your score is a useful tool in determining your company’s transaction-readiness. If you aren’t ready, our Deal Accelerator can get you there in as little as just two days.
Deal Accelerator
The expert teams in our Sydney and Singapore Accelerators run tailored two-day workshops using a series of “sprints” to prepare and optimise technology companies for their fund raisings and exits.
The Accelerator process requires some preparation beforehand and generates a work plan to be completed before you launch your transaction. The sprints focus on key matters that need to be thought through before you go live, including:
· stakeholder alignment
· expectation management
· strategic positioning
· operational strength
· value drivers
· valuation
· how transactions work
· governance and reporting
· marketing approach and collateral
Because we look at these issues through the lens of an investor, we often bring a completely fresh perspective to the table. We identify gaps, provide solutions and accentuate your company’s value proposition to increase the likelihood of achieving a successful fund raising or M&A outcome. If you aren’t ready, or we think you won’t maximise value by launching now, we will tell you what you can do to improve your position.
Here’s the process in a diagram:
After Completion
Our goal is for every client that completes the Deal Accelerator to launch its funding or exit transaction quickly and to close it on the best possible terms. We will teach you the short-cuts that we have learned from many years of doing deals.
By the end of day two, you will know exactly what needs to be done to get transaction-ready and to maximise your chances of success. If you engage North Ridge Partners to lead your transaction, there is no charge for attending the Deal Accelerator.
In as little as two days, North Ridge Partners can have you ready to launch your financing or exit transaction.
