Parties
“Our management team knew the day would come when we would have to align with a capital partner, and we knew that finding the right group to support our vision for growth while continuing to nurture the unique IOS culture would not be an easy task. We met Oaklins TM Capital through a referral and from day one they worked hard to understand this need of ours. As in all processes, there were twists and turns, yet the team did a great job of helping us keep our priorities aligned and our team focused on the mission at hand. In the end, our process was a very competitive one with many potential capital partners pursuing an opportunity to work with our business and our people.
