Testimonials

America's values the relationships that we develop with our clients. We are proud to have partnered with some of the leading private and public emerging growth companies in our sectors of focus and look forward to working with our future clients on their engagements. We are grateful to the following executives for their sentiments.

"Fred and his team at America's Growth Capital ran a very professional, highly disciplined and efficient process. AGC's access to the decision makers at the largest enterprise software companies, in combination with their knowledge of the data management space, was impressive. The strategic advice provided to the Board of Directors was both timely and valuable."

Ron Baker, President and CEO of ETI
(America's was sole financial advisor to ETI in its sale to Versata.)


"America's Growth Capital did an outstanding job of driving a quick and clean financing process for Fidelis Security Systems, which resulted in our partnership with an outstanding group of new investors--Tudor Ventures and Point Judith Capital. I am thrilled to have developed a strong relationship with both Maria and Scott, and we look forward to continuing a close dialogue with AGC as Fidelis Security Systems builds upon its leading position in the network DLP market."

Timothy Sullivan, Founder and Executive Chairman of Fidelis Security Systems
(America's acted as exclusive placement agent for Fidelis Security Systems' $22 million Series B funding round in April, 2008.)


"The AGC team did an exceptional job keeping what was a very complicated transaction on the rails. They stepped up and did whatever needed to be done to get the deal closed in what was a very tight simultaneous sign and close schedule. The transaction exceeded the initial expectations of the board and the management team, and I feel confident that we would not be able to say that had not AGC used its relationships to open doors, position the company and negotiate as well as it did."

Brian Hays, Chairman and CEO of SiteScape
(America's was sole financial advisor to SiteScape in its sale to Novell.)


"We were very impressed with America's Growth Capital throughout the Availl acquisition process and quickly recognized they would be the best resource for us in our efforts to secure financing through this PIPE transaction. Adding major investors in New York, Philadelphia, Chicago and San Francisco, we have taken a first step in developing national demand and are delighted with the job that AGC did for us."

Randy Poole, President and CEO of GlobalSCAPE
(America's was sole placement agent for GlobalSCAPE's $8.4mm PIPE in November, 2006. America's was the sole financial advisor to Availl in its sale to GlobalSCAPE and was retained immediately after the closing of the acquisition by GlobalSCAPE to pursue the private placement transaction.)


"We are delighted with the deal. AGC did a great job for us. This is an excellent opportunity for Counterpane's customers and employees. It is great to see that BT is listening to its customers and acquiring the skills and capabilities in order to fully service their requirements. Together BT and Counterpane can deliver the holistic approach needed to face today's security threats, encompassing people, processes and technology."

Paul Stich, CEO of Counterpane Internet Security
(America's was sole financial advisor to Counterpane in its sale to BT Global Services in October, 2006.)


"America's Growth Capital did an outstanding job for us in our acquisition. Not only did they listen to what we identified as our ideal target, they understood exactly what we were looking for. Through a comprehensive screening of the universe, they helped us to identify Cyota, which we agreed was the best strategic fit. Furthermore, together with America's, we were able to move rapidly, and we were able to lock-in the transaction in less than 30 days."

Arthur W. Coviello, Jr., President and CEO of RSA Security
(America's was sole financial advisor to RSA Security in its $145mm acquisition of Cyota in December, 2005.)


"America's moved fast, knew our industry cold and positioned the WholeSecurity story as if it were their own. We realized a premium valuation in no small part due to America's expertise and tireless efforts."

Pete Selda, President and CEO of WholeSecurity
(America's was sole financial advisor to WholeSecurity in its sale to Symantec in September, 2005.)


"We set out to raise $15 million, but AGC created so much demand in concert with our effort, we decided to extend the offer."

John McHale, former CEO of TippingPoint Technologies
(America's was sole placement agent for TippingPoint Technologies' $24mm PIPE in October, 2003.)
