Supporting more than $8.5 billion worth of transaction value for some of the most sophisticated software investors in the country.

Over the past three years, Thinktiv has supported $8.5 billion worth of transaction value for some of the most sophisticated software investors in the country. Over the same period, we’ve executed dozens of post-investment transformation programs to remediate issues identified during diligence and accelerate value creation.

Our process and experience allow us to adapt to market nuances — even in compressed transaction windows.

How do you derisk modern technology deals to drive value?

We enhance value at every stage of investment. We partner with investors across their full lifecycle of activity — from diligence through divestiture — to identify and execute strategies for revenue growth and value enhancement.

Our pre-transaction services deliver pragmatic opportunity assessment and prioritized value creation opportunities informed by more than a decade of operational experience. Post-transaction, our interdisciplinary teams execute and accelerate business transformation, driving faster outcomes, and enhanced returns for our partners.

Value creation starts with sound investment.

Pre-Transaction

We produce a new level of insight when evaluating acquisition targets. Understand core product and technology risks and opportunities of a target investment. Analyze market competitors and adjacent offerings to identify a company’s potential for category leadership.

  • Deep product, marketing, technical, and operational gap analysis; complete with key internal stakeholder and market interviews.
  • Produce Pre-Transaction Diligence Report with actionable solutions.
  • Explore our checklist

Post Transaction

We produce a business innovation roadmap that identifies the programs required to maximize enterprise value.

  • Prioritized action plan and the timeline for value creation milestones.
  • Each item is mapped to the highest priority opportunities first identified in our Maturity Model and Value Creation Roadmap.
  • Co-developed with the executive leaders & the investment team.

Directed Innovation Programs

We methodically transform portfolio companies through a proven set of Value Creation Blueprints.

  • These programs drive revenue growth and enhancement of valuation multiples amplifying the investment thesis.
  • We create meaningful outcomes faster, with more capital efficiency, and with greater control than traditional staffing approaches.
