"Our most recent Fund investment focus is mainly on seed and early stage companies within the information technology, life sciences and cleantech sectors. From time-to-time we refer to third party industry experts to help us with specific business and technology due-diligence aspects on new investment opportunities as well as for existing portfolio companies. True Reckoning's combination of technology and business skills combined with their strategy audit process has helped iNovia Capital gain new insights into our portfolio assets."

"At Embedded Fusion, we were trying to figure out how to sell some hardware and software assets we had developed, but didn't really know where to start. Rick and his True Reckoning team helped us value the assets, figure out who might be interested in buying them and then Rick presented the asset portfolio to a number of potential buyers. Rick drove the process of soliciting bids from potential buyers and led the final negotiations to close the deal. By following True Reckoning's leadership and M&A process, I'm convinced we maximized our asset selling price."
