VIRTUAL MERGER
Helping founders of digital agencies navigate their way to a safe and fruitful exit via IPO.
Become part of a themed group of companies, allowing your agency to command a higher public market valuation.
Goal: An exit vehicle, created to help founders of digital agencies maximize their valuation via IPO.
​
Timeline: Agency onboarding closes April 25th.
​
How Does it Work: Grouping several themed companies together in this manner is an efficient way of quickly achieving scale by leveraging their combined EBITDA. Having that increased scale will make the virtual group much more attractive to a larger pool of potential buyers – who will pay a premium for that scale. Therefore, on exit, the owners of each company in the virtual group can expect to receive a higher price that might otherwise only be achieved by means of exceptional organic growth. Thus, the net result of the virtual merger is an exit price that is maximized for the entrepreneur and done in a fraction of the time of growing a business organically.
​
We are currently working along side established London based firm Quadra Capital to carefully qualify the firms who best fit the group's mandate.
