Services
Intelligent Capital, Inc. is committed to driving the right strategic transaction for our client. Underlying all of our work is an emphasis on understanding the objectives and concerns of the company's shareholders, management and employees.
An engagement can take a range of forms, including:
- Sale or merger of a private company
- Divestiture of a business unit from a public or private company
- Acquisition of a company
- Formation of a substantial joint venture or strategic partnership
As a firm with a clear stage and sector focus, we have the experience to understand and describe our client's business and technology, to identify and target the right potential partners, and to communicate with the right people within the target organizations to develop the broadest possible base of interest. We understand how big companies make partnership & acquisition decisions, and are able to use this knowledge to help our clients navigate these often unfamiliar waters.
Organization - Unlike the larger financing-oriented firms, which tend to be organized around separate research and transaction functions, Intelligent Capital is structured in such a way that the people working on each project have strong backgrounds in both the client's business & technology and in relevant transaction execution. This focus enables us to be more effective than the larger, broader based firms.
Location - Even on those projects where both our client and the partner company are located outside of the United States, we find that the San Francisco Bay Area/ Silicon Valley tends to be a "hub" of activity for the technology sector, and our location here enables us to communicate easily and effectively with most of the parties relevant to the situation.
Timing - We generally encourage potential clients to talk with us early in their development process. There can be differences in importance between functions within the company depending on the anticipated future growth vector, and we can provide insight to the board or management on some of the opportunities and pitfalls that exist.
