Corum Group

To understand why Corum has sold, and still sells, more technology companies than anyone, it helps to learn some history. The company started in 1985, mentoring software firms using a proprietary Strategic Audit Process. The Audit surveyed users, distribution, staff and management utilizing the latest psychographic tools, correlating findings with best practices. Upon completion, we would make real-world recommendations were to management and investors, and then help with implementation.

The greatest needs typically revolved around money and marketing. Predictably, many of our clients needed a larger partner to fully commercialize their technology worldwide. Because of the trust built through that process, we were repeatedly asked for transaction counsel: timing, valuation, process – and who should they hire as an advisor.

We carefully surveyed the M&A advisory options available globally. As successful businessmen, technologists, strategists and business model experts, we were disappointed at what we found. So were our clients.
