CARBIOS
IR ADVISOR
« Inbound demonstrated its strong capacity for Strategic Access, fitting with Carbios’ ambitions to diversify its shareholder base and to engage more vigorously with the sell-side. Building on their equity background and international network, Inbound has managed to identify quality long term investors, as well as rated analysts in top research franchises in the UK and the US. Their detailed investor feedbacks coupled with their ability to generate actionable data have also been very valuable. »
GAROFALO HEALTHCARE
EUROPEAN ROADSHOWS
« Inbound is a highly recommended experience for Small & Mid-cap companies looking to enlarge their investors’ network with surgical precision. The value Inbound adds to the IR function spans across several directions: deep understanding of a company’s context (i.e. not “one approach fits all”: rather « let’s discuss the approach that best suits your needs »), close partnership and support (you can really count on them for the entire project, from the initial phase of sharing ideas all the way to logistics), real knowledge of the investors (that will be a revelation to you both during and after the meeting once you get their feedback). In summary, working with them means you can expect: quality meetings, super quality feedbacks and above all a mini-team of senior partners with whom you can share your IR trip (and if you have spare time, the dinner – pretty enjoyable experience as well!). »

OUTSOURCED INVESTOR RELATIONS
« As an advisor, Inbound has a “secret sauce”. Since the start of our collaboration, Inbound has shown a capacity for out-of-the-box thinking most advisors lack. Thanks to their equity background, they have provided us with the tools to deal with international investors and like a decoder, helped us speak their language – a pre-condition for them to invest in Quadpack. From our equity story to management coaching and to ESG expertise, Inbound has covered all the bases. That includes a Dragon’s Den to the board and senior managers, an important exercise to get us all aligned for the same goal: maximise our valuation for future growth without losing our values and the purpose of being listed. We feel they are really part of the team. »

FUNDRAISING
« Inbound Capital has done a truly remarkable job for us, with a surgical approach to investors. The “Inbound protocole” is impressive in its effectiveness – like a SWAT team. All introductions are extremely well qualified and carefully prepared, with maximum time efficiency. As a result, almost all of the meetings converted within a time frame that ranged from now to a week or so. The additional benefit of Inbound comes from the intrinsic quality of its network. To date, all our investors have generated opportunities at least as important as the capital invested. »

NOLEO
FUNDRAISING
« Despite coming in a well advanced funding round, Inbound Capital was instrumental in bringing sound views and targeted investor introductions. While it could be seen as a stretch for a UK/Europe firm to advise a San Diego-based start-up, they showed their global ties by going beyond cross-Atlantic introductions – in this case trans-Pacific (key tickets, of strategic nature, came from Singapore). Like a SWAT team, they moved incredibly fast, while being on target for the purpose of our raise, introducing us to investors with aligned values and interests. We expect that the investors who joined us in this journey will add significant value to our business going well beyond the capital provided. We value and share the Inbound Capital team’s partnership approach and we look forward to working and growing together along our journey. »

FUNDRAISING
« Inbound Capital worked closely with our senior management team at a critical time for the company. Together, we developed a cash flow forecast model for our company which was better suited for a detailed investor due diligence process. The team created a user friendly, and much easier to update and maintain model which supported us during our entire exit negotiations. Without such a model, it would have been much more difficult to engage with advisers conducting due diligence and secure the sale of our business as we have. »
