In founding AGC Partners, we were determined to create a new model for a boutique investment bank: entrepreneurially driven, firm owned and run by its Partners, seasoned veterans with deep domain expertise and execution experience within the emerging growth sectors.
Providing a wide variety of services within the investment banking space
AGC was referred to me by a friend who was the founder of a technology company AGC helped sell to a major global player. Selecting AGC was one of the best decisions I made throughout the investment process. Sean and the AGC team, who managed the entire process for us, definitely surpassed our expectations and we would have never been able to close this type of a transaction without his consistent guidance. This is even more true given the major headwind that we encountered right before closing - the COVID outbreak. Thanks to our solid performance and Sean's persistence and experience throughout the COVID period, we were able to close a great deal nevertheless.
The AGC team exceeded every expectation, from our initial vetting process through the official closing date. AGC's deep understanding of the financial technology industry, strong relationships with strategic players, and breadth of M&A experience were crucial factors in achieving such a successful result. Ben and team worked tirelessly hand in hand through the entire process. They were always prepared, knowledgeable, and one step ahead of all potential obstacles that could have derailed our deal. We would not have been able to achieve the outcome we did if it were not for the hands-on, partner-led process Ben and his team provided to our team every day.
It was a pleasure working with AGC. Their commitment to the process was palpable. They have a very strong team who were not only super smart and responsive but also insightful and very well versed on our industry. Their partners are very well connected and definitely deserve immense credit in getting us to a very successful deal close. It was an intense process and they were there with us every step of the way. I’d definitely recommend Ben, Linda and the team at AGC to other companies considering a fundraise.
AGC's strong momentum from 2021 carries into 2022, with 51 deals closed in the last fifteen months, 12 deals currently under LOI, and 50 current engagements, making AGC the most active technology investment bank. Recently, we represented K1, Luminate, Riverside, Silversmith and Vista on transactions ranging from roughly $200M to over $1B. We have built the leading global technology investment bank focused on middle market M&A and growth financings with 456 transactions completed since inception and we are the market SaaS leader with 140 transactions since 2010. Our main offices are in Boston, New York, San Francisco and London, and we have expanded our go-local strategy with senior hires in Denver and Los Angeles. With AGC's team of 22 tech banking sector-expert Partners and 32 new hires in 2021, we have built one of the largest technology-focused teams on Wall Street.
