Satisfied Former Clients

Garibaldi’s transaction team has years of experience advising Canadian technology companies through growth capital fund raising and full acquision mandates. Our track record was achieved partially while at prior firms, however the GCA team member was always the client-facing deal lead. In all cases, we achieved the ultimate goal for any corporate finance advisor: a satisfied client.

Our first transaction purely as Garibaldi was BroadbandTV, which at the time was the largest private placement in a Western Canadian technology company since 2004.

    “I worked with Brent as an advisor to BroadbandTV for over two years before we decided to raise a significant round of growth capital. The Garibaldi team was instrumental in preparation, marketing and closing our transaction with RTL Group as an integrated, valuable part of my team. I could rely on them to be there when I needed them to deliver great analysis and sound advice. I would highly recommend them for companies committed to growth in this community.”

    Hamed ShahbaziCEO of TIO Networks and Investor/AdvisorBroadbandTV

    “As an advisor and investor in BroadbandTV, I was very impressed with the dedication, proactivity and smarts exhibited by both Brent and Andrew. They are hard-working, capable, connected and committed to achieving superior results. I would not hesitate to work with this “A-team” in the future in any capacity.”

    “Brent was the key advisor working on BuildDirect’s $21 million financing in 2012. I worked closely on every aspect of the financing process with him. I appreciated the advice and the analysis, but most of all, I appreciated that he understood our business thoroughly and bought in to the larger vision. It is so important that your advisor fundamentally knows your business and its key advantages. I have recommended Brent and Garibaldi to my contacts in Canadian technology and would hire him again in a heartbeat.”

    John SothamVP FinanceBuildDirect

    “I have worked with Brent and his Garibaldi team in a variety of assignments over the last two years, including raising a large growth equity round. They are highly analytical, hard working and delivered what we needed. I like their approach of focusing only on technology companies in Canada, as we need this type of expertise in our local markets.”

    “Brent helped MetroLeap Media (owners of the #1 lyrics website, Metrolyrics.com) in many ways as an advisor to Milun and I through our transaction with CBS Interactive in 2011. We had worked together prior to the transaction to start an Internet Media CEO group that brought many of the local BC success stories of the past two to three years together to learn from each other. Garibaldi is continuing to build this engagement with the community and the technology ecosystem. I have no doubt that this strategy will help set them apart from any other technology advisor going forward.”

    “I worked with Brent on a $17M financing for Delta-Q through 2009 in one of the toughest times to raise money in recent memory. He was hard working and a quick study on our technology and our business. Knowing Brent, the Garibaldi message of a deeper understanding of the technology and the commitment to analysis and advice over the longer term really resonates. This should help Garibaldi and their clients get through to a positive end result knowing there is a knowledgeable, well-prepared team to work with.”
