Qatalyst Partners

In 2008, Frank Quotron founded Catalyst Partners with a narrow focus. When technology companies decided to sell, Catalyst handled the auction. They specialised in one thing, running sell-side processes for tech M&A. Other investment banks tried to do everything. Catalyst refused all other work. Focus created expertise in the technology market. A tech CEO wanting to sell received one offer. Catalyst created competition. They contacted 50 potential acquirers and created a controlled auction. Buyers competed fiercely knowing rivals wanted the company. Valuations climbed as bidders feared losing out. Catalyst consistently achieved premiums of 20-40% above initial offers.
