Pioneering a Unified Approach in High-Tech Finance and M&A
As seasoned Silicon Valley veterans we understand that the final transaction, being the investment round or the acquisition, is only as good as the path towards it. That path requires a deep knowledge of the market, the technology, the key players and eco-system. The ability to understand the customer’s story allows TD Shepherd to not only determine the best strategy but also how a customer should be positioned to achieve the best results. Full understanding first is an absolute must, and we practice that by using one of two approaches: Discovery or Ambition. Depending on the stage of the company and the clarity on strategy, growth targets and roadmap, one or the other approach is used to determine the exact position the company and management team is in. Based on that position and its objectives a detailed plan and timeline can be developed together with the Management Team and shareholders to ensure that TD Shepherd and customer operate as ONE TEAM. Given that the path to completion can sometimes take a year or longer it is very important that we operate as one, not two separate teams.
