The established companies who tend to benefit the most from working with us are: - Growth-focused organizations with relatively urgent mandate to achieve a “digital transformation” - Focused on adapting their business to an ever-changing marketplace that faces exponentially accelerating shifts - Contemplating the question “how can we be a disruptor ourselves rather than a disruptee?” - Looking for ways to mitigate the risks involved with investing in and acquiring technology companies - Recognizing how external expertise in tech company acquisition can accelerate their success with small and large acquisitions that can exponentially impact their growth - Believe that acquiring the right tech company can bridge gaps, accelerate growth, guard against disruption and enhance the customer experience. Aquaa Partners has developed its Techquisition method - the Science of Technology Company Acquisition - to achieve transformative results for its clients. The firm’s network of relationships built over 25 years extends from London across the whole of Europe and into the US, as well as to the M East, Africa and Asia.
