What our clients say

Ross Hale
CEO and Co-Founder

Equiteq’s deep knowledge of the tech-enabled services landscape, and their sharp understanding of the AI services space specifically, made all the difference in finding the right partner in AlixPartners. What stood out most was the level of senior attention we received throughout – they were always available, always engaged, and were true partners to us from day one. I’d highly recommend them to any founder considering a similar path.

Aleksandar Dragicevic
Principal

Equiteq was a trusted partner from the start, bringing deep sector understanding, disciplined process management, and excellent judgement on key negotiation points. Their strategic advice on the IT services landscape, combined with exit analysis and valuation insights, was instrumental in shaping our view of RBC’s value creation potential. Throughout the process, the team demonstrated real commitment and responsiveness, helping us complete a complex transaction smoothly. We greatly valued their partnership.

Björn Dücker
Global Director of M&A in EMEA

Throughout this journey, Equiteq has been a trusted advisor, helping us shape a transaction that supports both our strategic priorities and Planetrics’ long-term success. Their strong understanding of services models and ability to mobilise the broader ecosystem were critical in getting the transaction done.

Chad Staiger
Founder and CEO of Torq Consulting

Looking back, it’s hard to imagine reaching this outcome without the entire Equiteq team by our side. Their professionalism, strategic insight, and genuine commitment gave us confidence throughout the process, and we’re incredibly grateful for everything they did to help us find the right partner for our next chapter.

Don Epstein
Co-founder & Managing Director

The Equiteq team delivered in every way throughout the transaction process, from initially sourcing and assessing our opportunities through the eventual transaction. They made us feel prioritized at all times, and provided expert analysis and advising to help us achieve a great outcome. We have worked with many investment advisers over the years, and Equiteq was simply the best.

Eoghan Hannigan
Co-founder

Since our initial strategic review in 2020, when we first mapped the path toward a future transaction, through to the formal launch of the process in February 2025, Equiteq has been a true strategic partner. Their deep understanding of our business and the broader financial services landscape, combined with an exceptionally hands-on and committed approach, meant they guided, challenged, and supported us at every step. Their professionalism and deal craftsmanship consistently set the bar high, and their strategic guidance and flawless execution were instrumental in achieving our successful agreement with Virtusa in November 2025. We couldn’t have done it without them, and we would unequivocally recommend them.

Jeff Hilliard
Founder and Chief Executive Officer

Equiteq was an outstanding, high-integrity partner to Valent from start to finish. They understood our business, appreciated what makes us different, and brought a disciplined process that connected us with the right investment partners – those aligned with both our growth goals and our culture. Their insight, experience, and commitment made a real difference. I highly recommend the Equiteq team.

Vikram Kapoor
CEO

Equiteq provided strong, clear-headed support to Waada’s shareholders throughout the process, combining deep knowledge of our business with a practical understanding of the market. Their insight and network helped identify emagine as a highly compelling strategic partner, delivering an outcome that supports Waada’s long-term vision and growth ambitions. We are very pleased with the result.

Garth Hamilton
Director and Co-Founder

Equiteq were a true partner throughout — from crystallising our value proposition for buyers, to navigating a complex cross-border transaction and keeping all parties aligned through the entire process. Their judgement and execution helped us deliver the right outcome with the right buyer.

Andrew Malk
Founder and Chairman, Malk Partners

It was a delight working with the Equiteq team. They rolled up their sleeves from day one and never stopped working hard to overcome deal complexities and get the transaction to the finish line. The Equiteq team ensured we were well prepped for all steps and milestones in the process and it never felt that our asks were too much. They are great partners.

Eric Neef
CEO, evolv

The entire Equiteq team really understands our business and the evolv offerings: Strategy, Data & Analytics, and Digital Transformation. The drive they showed in finding us the right partner was remarkable. Equiteq led a great process that led us to an outstanding result with a partnership with Interlock Equity. I would highly recommend Equiteq as a trusted advisor.

Graylin Johnson and Paul Davis
Co-founders, Analysis Prime

The Equiteq team were incredible partners from day one of the engagement, leveraging their deep industry and transactional expertise in the IT services & SAP markets while providing comprehensive support in preparing us for going to market, optimizing the positioning for when in market, and navigating the intricacies of the M&A landscape. They became truly trusted partners to our team and we couldn’t have imagined going through this without them.
