Accelerating Corporate Transformation With Tech Company Acquisition

About

Techquify was founded based on offering best-in-class corporate finance advisory services to the tech and tech-influenced industries. The team combines unique expertise in advising non-tech companies on acquiring tech companies with over 30 years of experience in tech company deal-making and transactions. We can guide, counsel and support on “Techquisition” deals as well as other M&A and strategic advisory situations.

What we do

Strategic Advice

We focus on clients and industries in which our experiences and intellectual capabilities can add value. We like complexity and fast-moving market dynamics, as we move quickly in our own analytical work and decision-making.
We facilitate and solve our clients’ most important strategic issues and help them realise their strategic objectives, usually through an M&A event.

M&A

Most of our M&A transactions have a cross-border element. Our experience base and wide network of relationships allow us to execute transactions no matter where in the world they might take place. Techquify has truly global capabilities, with a mix of global nationalities and varied business and cultural experiences, at both the most senior level in financial services and in global multinational operating companies.

Techqusition TM

Many of our clients are established, growth-focused companies who come to us because they are considering making an acquisition of a technology company as part of their transformation. They understand the world and their industry is rapidly changing and they are focused on adapting their business accordingly.

Our clients generally believe that acquiring the right technology company, ie acquiring digital capabilities, assets, technologies and talented staff, can bridge gaps, accelerate growth, guard against disruption and enhance the customer experience.

However, our clients also understand that successfully acquiring a technology company today entails significant challenges.

The deal environment for “digital” companies or “tech” companies today is becoming so much more competitive – not only from tech companies themselves as acquirers but also from traditional “non-tech” strategic acquirers in all industries who want tech.

As the world becomes more and more competitive, driven by exponential advances in technology, including AI, more and more traditional companies that are growth-focused are contemplating the question “how can we be a disruptor ourselves rather than a disruptee?”

These companies are taking action. They are acquiring tech companies, in addition to pursuing organic initiatives to leverage digital technology in their business and products.

At Techquify we help these companies create more value, guard against disruption and enhance the customer experience by acquiring the right tech company. We advise our clients in applying and leveraging the 12 steps of Techquisition™ to create and retain maximum value from a technology company acquisition.

Our Mission

Our mission at Techquify is to empower businesses by connecting them with cutting-edge technological solutions, driving growth and innovation.

Our Vision

Unique – we see afresh what others take for granted. What others see linearly we see exponentially. We like to empower our solutions with our unique perspective, insights, and guidance.
