Denver, Colorado
Larry O'Toole, Founder of Yosemite Associates, announced today another successful, euphoric, exit transaction for one of the firm's clients. This Colorada based client (un-named to respect private owner confidentiality) engaged Yosemite Associates in 2018 to help the ownership prepare their business for a future euphoric exit event. A leading building security manufacturer, this company wanted help in pulling together a more dynamic and effective strategic plan, coaching for a new CEO and guiding the team to know where to focus in building the exit value of the company.
As the owner expressed, "we couldn't have achieved this great exit valuation without Yosemite's help. We tried to sell the company in 2018 and were not pleased with the offers. With Yosemite's help, this time we were much better prepared as we strategically built our business to command a valuation 2x greater than the offers received back in 2018 and a far better deal structure that required no earn outs." Said O'Toole, "This business and their team just needed help in pulling together a more focused strategy and the key steps to prepare the business to excite an acquirer. I'm proud to say that we delivered on our client promise, guiding them to a euphoric exit event."
(note: this owner is receptive to speaking with those looking for a reference on how Yosemite Associates enabled their euphoric outcome)
