Corniche Growth Advisors is a regulated boutique strategic transaction advisory firm that helps grow mid-market companies in selected dynamic and disruptive tech-sectors through the execution of Merger & Acquisition, Capital Raising, Cross-Border and Go-To-Market strategies. We provide dedicated senior expertise and “go further” by starting with a deep understanding of the business, and validating strategies through market engagement and execution. As a boutique advisory firm, we are able to provide the hands-on, flexible, senior attention to mid-market and growth companies that the large TMT research and advisory firms and investment banks find hard to match. Our entrepreneurial track record provides real experience of founding, capital raising, growing and exiting our own mobile-related businesses, for which there is no substitute. Whilst we have a general competency in “all things mobile”, we focus on the broader Fintech, Insurtech and Telecoms sectors. Having worked extensively in both developing and developed markets, we have a special interest in technologies and technology businesses from developed markets that are extendable into developing markets. Organic go-to-market strategies include building new business models, strategic partnerships, target segments/customer-types, channels and geographies, whilst inorganic strategies include buy/sell-side M&A and capital raising. From our offices based in London and Johannesburg, we work with select clients across Europe, North America, South East Asia, Middle East Africa and beyond.
