QuantumWave provides highly specialized mergers and acquisitions investment-banking services to emerging technology companies innovating at the forefront of the mobile internet revolution.
We offer market leaders globally, a fasttrack, cost-efficient alternative to in-house R&D, and select emerging technology companies, chosen with scientific discernment for innovation excellence and incontrovertible technological proof-points, an accelerated path to exit.
Our singular domain focus and deep technical expertise enables delivery of precisely targeted services to the market leaders on the buy side, and the vast number of fast-growing emerging technology companies historically neglected by the larger boutiques, on the sell side.
Designed to chase Alpha, or absolute return for our portfolio of emerging technology clients and the larger corporations that acquire them, the Mobile Internet Genome™ precisely matches the technology DNA of seller and buyer and models risk adjusted revenue embedded in the buyer’s commercial ecosystem.
With a regional sell side concentration on Europe and Israel, and global buy side capability and expanding presence, QuantumWave favors companies with a sub-$50 million exit valuation.
In most companies, founders and shareholders will want to unlock the value of their assets and create liquidity for themselves at some point. Decisions around when and how to tap into this store of value are often challenging. The velocity, growth, and acceleration of the technology adoption lifecycle of the mobile internet has quickened this evolution, making exit possible for emerging technology companies, with significant intellectual property, a powerful R&D workforce, and strong proof-points.
To regulate and discipline the M&A readiness, engagement, dealmaking and due-diligence lifecycle to the level of sophistication that mainstream acquirers expect, QuantumWave uses a Six-Sigma-like platform, a prescriptive methodology of management processes and associated IT to preemptively identify and manage the causes of M&A failure, minimize randomness, and control the inconsistencies in business process and delivery capability often found in high-velocity emerging technology companies.
Working with a select portfolio of sell side clients, we are ideally positioned as domain expert and trusted advisor to rapidly present a stream of attractive buy-side targets. Applying the Mobile Internet Genome™ and our technical and sector expertise, we precisely correlate the technological and commercial value proposition of buyer and seller, and quickly produce a vetted short-list of targets. We then use our quantitative financial models to project risk-adjusted return on technology to inform pricing, secure a period of exclusivity, and manage dealmaking safely through term sheet, technical and financial due-diligence, to legal completion.
