"I had a very clear idea of what I needed in a corporate finance advisor. I took the selection process seriously and met with a number of business brokers several times. It was apparent from the outset that Beanstalk was the right corporate finance provider for us."

PrismaStar Testimonials

Beanstalk exceeded my expectation and despite difficult economic conditions they secured numerous competitive term sheets within just eleven weeks. Beanstalk went on to expertly manage the due diligence process with pace, care and professionalism. Raising venture capital is demanding, but, Beanstalk made the process as pain free as possible and their contribution will have a major impact on the success of our start-up.

It took a leap of faith to trust Beanstalk and their approach to marketing the business. Their IM was fundamentally different to the one I had produced and it proved to be exactly right. A number of the VCs I had previously approached took a fresh look at our business plan and for the first time were able to engage with our value proposition. This was largely down to the quality of the documentation Beanstalk produced

I knew that raising finance would be demanding - particularly in a difficult economic environment. Beanstalk made this process as pain free as possible and the result they achieved within the timeframe significantly exceeded my expectations.

I had a very positive experience using a corporate finance house to raise money. I've used private equity in the past, but at our stage of the business, professional corporate finance advisors were key to procuring institutional investors. My only regret was not to have engaged Beanstalk earlier; they are specialists at what they do and got us great terms within a very constrained timescale. Beanstalk proved to be the right choice for PrismaStar and I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

Beanstalk introduced me to PrismaStar and Taylor Wessing represented them throughout their sale process. This was a complex cross-border VCT investment with advisors representing PrismaStar and Octopus Ventures both in the UK and US. Beanstalk's team played an invaluable role during both the due diligence and contract negotiations to ensure the investment completed efficiently and smoothly. Their determination to secure funding for PrismaStar demonstrates a results-driven approach to corporate advisory and I have no hesitation in recommending their work.
