“We chose Ben Howe and AGC Partners because of their expertise in the technology industry and like-minded dedication to maintaining Buildium's core business values. At the start of our engagement Ben promised that no one works harder than the team at AGC, and he was right—we're thrilled with the outcome of our strategic investment. With the support of AGC Partners, Buildium was able to secure the funding we wanted on terms that delivered a terrific outcome for our investors, shareholders, customers and employees."

"We engaged AGC because of its track record, deep market knowledge, and relationships. That perspective proved invaluable to the Board and a mission-oriented shareholder group in forming a consensus to divest Exostar from joint venture to private equity ownership. I can't speak more highly of the tenacity and professionalism that Maria, Russ and the AGC team brought to the table every day to advance our strategic interests. We are excited at the prospect of moving forward under Thoma Bravo's stewardship, and the deal absolutely would not have happened without AGC. AGC has earned my highest recommendation."

"Our company presented an interesting challenge for even the most skilled Strategic Advisor. Knowing our situation was somewhat unique and complex, we carefully selected our partner for this process. The AGC team had solid subject matter expertise and their approach to our engagement was thoughtful and ultimately produced a very positive outcome for our shareholders, customers, employees and the acquiring business. Fred and his team played a key role in the timing of the process, the positioning of the business overall and in every stage leading to Closing.
