Seattle, WA, March 25, 2024 (--) Corum announces today that their client, UK-based Glider Technology, a developer of asset information management software for the built environment, has secured investment from Cow Corner Investments. Cow Corner is a private equity firm specializing in services and software businesses. The strategic partnership with Cow Corner will enable Glider to enhance its innovative solutions and strengthen its market position.
"The Corum market calibration process allowed Glider Technology to consider all of the options available to them to help fuel the next stage of growth," explains Allan Willson, the Corum M&A advisor who led the transaction. "It became clear that the best option was a recapitalization that would allow a private equity firm to take a controlling interest and support both organic and non-organic growth. This approach also presented the opportunity for the two founders of Glider to benefit from a second transaction in the future if the PE firm chooses to exit."
Corum is the world's leading educator on tech trends, valuations, growth strategies and Tech M&A. Corum will host a half-day online workshop, Selling Up Selling Out, in Edinburgh on April 3. Tech CEOs and founders will learn to prepare, position, research, value, negotiate and execute due diligence for maximum price and optimal structure in an M&A transaction.
