Through Capstone we found an acquisition partner in Madison who aligns with SimX’s mission to save lives by making healthcare simulation training cheaper, easier, and more realistic. We’re excited about the future we’re building together with our new partner.
I cannot say enough about the value of our relationship with Capstone. They helped us monetize the most valuable portion of our organization and we look forward to working with them again in the not-too-distant future.
Capstone had an excellent sense for the types of acquirers that suited our unique needs. Dominus was one of several highly qualified potential partners identified by Capstone and they did a fantastic job helping us determine the best fit.
