Case Study

Client: Lynx Equity
Acquisition: Granite
Industry: Fiber Optics
Service: Due Diligence
Overview: Lynx Equity, a private equity firm with a diversified portfolio of over 50 companies, was embarking on its first technology investment in the telecom sector. With limited technology experience, Lynx needed technology and industry experience to assist in its due diligence process.Solution: Blau & co. was retained to provide due diligence support, including strategic guidance, business analysis and market analysis. Leveraging a defined methodology and a robust knowledge of the telco industry, we worked as a virtual extension of Lynx’s M&A team providing objective insights and a comprehensive analysis of the company’s technology, products, sales & marketing, HR and operations.Outcome: The team of analysts at Blau & co provided Lynx with the business and technical analysis to confidently proceed with the deal. Lynx successfully completed its acquisition of Granite in 2022."Ari and his team were a great resource for us on this deal. We found an excellent opportunity to pursue but since telecommunications was a new vertical for us, we required great depth of insight and experience in a short amount of time. We were able to rely on Ari who took ownership of his involvement in our process and provided strong support both on the technical side as well as operational. As we grow our footprint in this market, we will be sure to include Ari for his expert counsel."
