Our funds have worked with LLH for several years. We consider them a key strategic extension of our team as they have consistently provided well researched and insightful perspective to the funding and liquidity options of our portfolio companies. We believe they are truly unique and differentiated in their ability to provide rich strategic M&A assistance to small and emerging companies. They work like senior business owners and provide that level of value. They are a constant source of objective professionalism which we value highly.
We have enjoyed a long and productive relationship with Levi Littell Herbst & Co. Their team helped us close our first-ever acquisition, which delivered greater scale economies to our business by acquiring a small high-end offset printing firm. Subsequently, we engaged them in a strategic search to acquire a large and highly sophisticated finishing operation. The ROI has been outstanding. We got the right deals done at the right price and I believe it would not have been accomplished without having an advisor that really took the time to understand our company, our culture and our strategy.
As life science venture investors, we rely on LLH to assist us with early diligence and superior analysis of the full range of the opportunity under consideration. Most importantly, the firm brings independent and sustainable objectivity to the equation. Once an investment is made we continue to rely on LLH to assist in the on-going management of the investment and to directly assist our portfolios companies as they confront key strategic choices on the path to their ultimate liquidity event.
Levi Littell Herbst & Co. quickly assessed the situation of our company and helped us devise a strategy to liquidate the many disparate parts of our business through a targeted, professional sales process that allowed us to maximize our value to the shareholders. The team was knowledgeable, hands on, and did a great job of facilitating the process with the buyers. I look forward to the next time we can work together.
Patient Impact finds tremendous value in its on-going relationship with LLH. Managing Director Rick Herbst has been an incredible advisor, strategist, and resource. He has helped PatientImpact evaluate both acquisition and funding opportunities leading to thoughtful, smart decisions. Rick makes himself available whenever you need him Ð and he goes above and beyond to exceed expectations. I would highly recommend LLH for any growing business looking for not just M&A advice, but general strategic guidance for growth.
