"John, Sean and their team's M&A expertise was invaluable in helping us achieve a great outcome. AGC's unwavering commitment to our success, combined with their work ethic and availability, proved invaluable in achieving an optimal outcome for our team and shareholders. They put a lot of resources into supporting us as founders and took care of a lot of things that we really would have struggled with ourselves. Both in the bid process and due diligence they were invaluable, generating several attractive offers and giving us optionality in the process. We are grateful for their partnership and the results they delivered. I would highly recommend them."

"We engaged AGC because of its track record, deep market knowledge, and relationships. That perspective proved invaluable to the Board and a mission-oriented shareholder group in forming a consensus to divest Exostar from joint venture to private equity ownership. I can't speak more highly of the tenacity and professionalism that Maria, Russ and the AGC team brought to the table every day to advance our strategic interests. We are excited at the prospect of moving forward under Thoma Bravo's stewardship, and the deal absolutely would not have happened without AGC. AGC has earned my highest recommendation."

"For many closely-held business owners, the sale of their company or a large capital round is one of the biggest decisions we will ever make. Choosing the right advisor to assist in this process is critical to achieving the best value, terms and overall outcome. When I think about my experience with AGC, I can say selecting them without question was the best decision I made in the entire process. They became part of my team and worked harder than anyone I had ever seen. While in the end we signed the perfect deal, the process alone with AGC has been one of the most valuable investments of time for my company and me personally."

"The AGC team with Jon and Doug at the helm was instrumental in structuring and executing the LiquidFrameworks process which ultimately resulted in a transaction with ServiceMax and a planned public market listing of the combined companies. This outcome of the process they led can only be described as outstanding. Their knowledge, expertise and perspective in matters involving finance and deal negotiation as well as timely specifics related to our SaaS industry provided critical guidance and advice used throughout the process."

"Worth it, in every way! Russ Workman and the AGC Team helped us find the best partner to fuel Qmulos' growth in the cybersecurity software market. They delivered more value than I ever expected, from hands-on preparation to broad exposure to expert advice at every phase of the process."

I would strongly recommend AGC as a financial advisor and we look forward to working with Linda and her team in the future."

"Our company presented an interesting challenge for even the most skilled Strategic Advisor. Knowing our situation was somewhat unique and complex, we carefully selected our partner for this process. The AGC team had solid subject matter expertise and their approach to our engagement was thoughtful and ultimately produced a very positive outcome for our shareholders, customers, employees and the acquiring business. Fred and his team played a key role in the timing of the process, the positioning of the business overall and in every stage leading to Closing. I would highly recommend AGC and Fred and hope to have the opportunity to work with them again in the future."

"Although I was confident from the beginning that IBS was the optimal choice for APS, there was some initial reluctance in working with a banking partner. Entrusting AGC Partners with this responsibility, however, proved to be the right decision. The industry acumen that Jon and Charlie brought to the table, their strategic foresight, and their comprehensive understanding of legal, financial, and tax issues served as the cornerstone of a lucrative agreement for myself, my family, and my stakeholders. The AGC team navigated the technicalities and cross-border nuances, and the depth and breadth of their relationships, spanning all the key players in the global travel and hospitality tech industry, were instrumental in driving home an exceptional transaction. We express our gratitude for their dedication and needless to say, we are thrilled with the outcome!"

"Jon, Doug, and the greater AGC team were exceptional partners to Thought Industries. We are very grateful for their invaluable advice, quick action and 'always-on' approach. They take a very complicated process and manage it with incredible precision and professionalism. It was a pleasure to have them as part of our extended team and I would whole-heartedly recommend them."

"I still remember when Jonathan and Charlie took me to lunch trying to convince me how attractive they felt Nomadix and GlobalReach would be to many potential investors. When we took the leap of faith to have them lead us through a confidential process, we did not know where the journey would lead. In addition to being pleased with the results by selling the companies at a high valuation to a prestigious strategic buyer, we also learned how important choosing the right partner is for the journey. Jonathan, Charlie, and their amazing team worked and advocated tirelessly on our behalf at every stage of the process. We cannot speak highly enough about what AGC Partners did to lead us through to a successful transaction."

"Throughout the process, I have been glad we had the counsel and support of the AGC team. They quickly establish trust and confidence with the Board who relied heavily on their advice and experience. Their capacity to shape the presentation and willingness to be clear and forthright when we needed to be challenged was incredibly helpful. Now that the transaction is closed I'm going to miss working with this amazing team. If I had to do it all over again, I'd do it with AGC Partners."

"The AGC team was outstanding throughout the entire 24x7 M+A process. We set a very high bar going in, and Jon and Dennis navigated the path to achieving our goal with remarkable skill.

We give Sean and AGC our highest recommendation as a technology M&A advisor."

"AGC's deep relationships and knowledge of the market were instrumental in helping us get a successful transaction done. The team was diligent and provided exceptional guidance throughout the process, maximizing the outcome of the transaction."
