Exclusive financial advisor to Cayosoft, Inc
Closed Transaction
KPMG Corporate Finance LLC (“KPMG CF”) acted as the exclusive financial advisor to Cayosoft, Inc. (“Cayosoft”) on its $22.5M growth equity raise led by Centana Growth Partners (“Centana”).
KPMG CF's extensive knowledge of cybersecurity and infrastructure software, paired with the strategic positioning of Cayosoft as a solution purpose-built for managing and protecting complex Microsoft infrastructures, generated a highly competitive process that ultimately achieved a successful outcome for the client. The outcome secured not only an optimal mix of primary and secondary growth equity to accelerate growth and offer founder liquidity, but also a leading growth equity partner in Centana to help the company execute on its growth plan.

It was imperative that I find the right equity investor to partner with, without giving up too much of the Company. KPMG made the complex fund-raising process easy and transparent. They continually advised me on what to expect and helped explain the options available to stakeholders and the business. I am certain KPMG helped maximize our investment while also making their network of investors comfortable by reducing the risk of surprises. While I evaluated several investment banks, I chose KPMG because of their team, their reputation, and past track record. They truly were my trusted advisor.
