At Akkadian we have worked out smart ways to make deals run smoothly. We have streamlined valuation, due diligence and negotiation processes. We leverage technology to evaluate and support deals, making them flow faster and be less invasive and stressful for both sellers and companies.
For Sellers, we offer:
- Confidential non-binding preliminary share valuations.
- Guaranteed confidentiality and the execution of non-disclosure agreements by all parties.
- Customized selling strategies that achieve your goals while limiting disruption to the underlying business.
- Due diligence protocols that allow for quick purchasing decisions and limited company involvement.
- Assistance navigating the legal issues raised by a sale.
For Companies, we offer:
- Complete confidentiality.
- Liquidity programs designed to promote employee retention.
- Controlled liquidity with a sophisticated institutional, but passive, buyer.
- Release from potential liability that could result from a transaction.
- Minimal interruption for due diligence and document production.
Our focus is exclusively on sales of private securities held by entrepreneurs and our experience means we know how to make these transactions successful. The Akkadian approach is unique in the secondary market:
- We consider deals without regard to their size. No deal is too small.
- We do not invest in venture capital funds to generate deal-flow or purchase pools of assets. So we avoid potential conflicts of interest that could prevent deals with entrepreneurs.
- We create win-win situations for the entrepreneur, company, and board of directors. By drawing upon our experience, we have developed a unique sales and diligence process that encourages companies to cooperate with our efforts. Consequently, we can avoid confrontations with company officers, directors, and stockholders and make it easier to close on the sale.
- We are passive investors. Although we offer support to our companies, we do not require board seats, board participation, or in some cases, even voting rights. Rather, we invest only where there is a good alignment of interests with other investors and the management team.
Akkadian specializes in secondary private sales. By definition our clients are busy and highly engaged in successful companies. We work only on private transactions, so we know how to make them happen without interfering with your "day job" and alienating your colleagues.
Our due diligence and closing processes lead the secondary industry, making transactions happen with the least amount of friction for all parties involved. Our practices, combined with our commitment to customer service and industry-specific expertise, allow clients to achieve their liquidity goals without sacrificing their other responsibilities.
