Stratagem is a boutique San Francisco investment
bank founded in 1988 with the mission to provide software and Internet
firms with a high value alternative to the typical cookie-cutter
approach to strategic partnering. Our premise is that maximizing
deal value demands an all out sales and marketing effort befitting
the size, style and critical nature of these transactions.
Many software companies devote intensive, highly-customized
selling efforts to complete six-figure customer deals, yet when
it comes to pitching the multimillion dollar sale of their company,
they settle for a mass marketing approach, paying scant attention
to the true strategic value that is most likely to ignite and cement
the relationship.
Unlike our competitors, we take full advantage
of the opportunity to make your first impression with a prominent
partner a great one by first selling that partner on the specific
strategic business benefits they will gain in a partnership with
you. While more time consuming and requiring thorough
planning and preparation, we have found that this is the most effective
approach at quickly establishing your company’s credibility
and differentiation. As a result, busy executives at these partner
companies take notice and often help shepherd your deal to completion.
Our experience, which now exceeds 100
engagements over more than 20 years, shows that this targeted
strategic partnering approach provides the optimal results. Because
our unique
approach proves to be so effective for our clients, it continues
to be a key differentiator for us, helping us win many engagements
over larger investment banks that still rely on traditional cookie-cutter
methods.
We could not perform these services without
devoted efforts from our highly
experienced team and if we did not tightly limit the number
of our engagements to ensure our team can invest the requisite time
in each client’s success.
