Featured Testimonials

"AGC was instrumental in driving a successful transaction. We needed an investment banking partner that was not only highly knowledgeable of our market/business but also extremely creative and thorough to help us structure and ultimately close out the transaction. The AGC team worked tirelessly and coordinated with all parties (buyer, lawyers, management, board) through an intense process. I would strongly recommend AGC as a financial advisor, especially Ben Howe and John Tinkham, and we look forward to working with them in the future."

-Tim Wang, Board Member, Aquicore

With their thoughtful strategic guidance, we aligned ourselves with the right investment partner to support our growth ambitions and the achievement of our company's mission. I would strongly recommend AGC as a financial advisor and we look forward to working with Ben and his team in the future.
