Our success was a result of implementing best practices reaching out to business owners, leveraging brokers and executing negotiations
We ran the Company as Co-CEOs for 3 years, implementing a detailed strategic plan that resulted in an organic three-fold increase in the size of the business
Our operational principles guided the decision-making process and delivered significant value for our shareholders
We launched ALZA Capital Partners, and created a liquidity event for the majority of our shareholders, providing one of the best returns in the Search Fund asset class
