Hospitality & Travel Tech

"We weren't looking for an exit. We were looking for the partner to fund the next chapter, and the one who could tell our story to the people who'd back it. That's harder than it sounds. Dockwa lives in a corner of the world most banks would need a chart to find: marinas, boaters, the water. And we went to market in a stretch when capital was scarce and a lot of funds were heading for the door.

Charlie and Jon didn't need the chart. They knew the business cold, so we never wasted a meeting on the basics. They shaped the story of where we were going, then they hit the pavement and got the right people into the room, the ones who understood what we'd spent twelve years building. They ran a real, competitive process when almost nobody could.

That work brought us PSG. A partner, not a buyer. Liquidity for those who wanted it, fuel for what comes next, and me still at the wheel building the thing I love. Here's what I won't forget. They became part of the team. They carried the heavy end of the process so my people could keep running the company straight through to close. They were there at every step, not just the easy ones. That's the difference between a bank and a partner.

If you're a founder looking for who to trust with the next chapter, especially when the water's rough, trust these two. I'd do it again tomorrow."

"Partnering with AGC was instrumental in helping us reach this milestone for Duve. From the very beginning, Jonathan, Charlie and the entire AGC team operated as true extensions of ours – deeply immersed in our business, fully aligned with our vision, and consistently pushing the process forward with precision. Their understanding of the hospitality technology landscape allowed us to move immediately to the strategic conversations that truly mattered, while their industry connectivity enabled them to work behind the scenes to drive the best possible outcome for all shareholders. As we set out to scale Duve's unified, AI-driven guest experience platform globally, having AGC by our side gave us complete confidence that every detail was being handled at the highest level. I am incredibly grateful for their commitment, expertise, and unwavering advocacy throughout the journey."

Partnering with AGC was one of the best decisions we made in our journey to sell the company. From day one, Jonathan and Charlie and their team operated like true extensions of our own team—fully committed, deeply knowledgeable, always one step ahead. Their understanding of the industry meant we could skip the basics and dive straight into the strategic conversations that mattered. Behind the scenes, their work on the financial models and documentation was outstanding, giving us confidence at every stage. The level of effort and dedication they brought to every part of the process was remarkable.
