Qatalyst Partners

In two thousand and ten, Frank Quattrone founded Qatalyst Partners with a narrow focus. When technology companies decided to sell, Qatalyst handled the auction. They specialized in one thing, running sell-side processes for tech M&A. Other investment banks tried to do everything. Qatalyst refused all other work. Focus created expertise in the technology market. A tech CEO wanting to sell received one offer. Qatalyst created competition. They contacted fifty potential acquirers and created a controlled auction. Buyers competed fiercely knowing rivals wanted the company. Valuations climbed as bidders feared losing out. Qatalyst consistently achieved premiums of twenty to forty percent above initial offers.
