Foundry is structured on the basis of working with local partners in its transactions. These partners either bring Foundry into its transactions or Foundry involves the partners on an individual case basis. Foundry's partners fall into three general categories: Well-regarded local businessmen, deal brokers or advisory firms with close ties to major shareholders and companies. These partners generally source deals from clients or associates looking for liquidity; Foundry evaluates the investment, arranges the financing, and closes the transaction. Specialized brokerage firms with a client base of local insurance companies and banks that invest in European companies. These partners are also good for local knowledge of a company or situation, and on occasion to participate in Foundry's transactions. Local investment funds to find ideas. Foundry finds that local fund managers are often the best source for information on compelling situations, and these funds also like to involve larger outside investors in their best holdings. Foundry is always interested in meeting and building relationships with good local partners. If you fit into any of these categories or think you could benefit from Foundry's expertise, please contact us here.
