As the leading strategy consulting firm in the fintech industry today, we take big swings at big problems in investing tech. We strive to build alongside founders who care about making markets work better. We deploy our team fractionally to develop everything from industry research, brand development, marketing strategy, GTM, corporate development, fundrasing, and ultimately M&A, buyouts and takeovers.
Consultants often act like grad students. The 100-page slide deck is the signature outcome of large-scale consulting firms. We sees ideas from initial research through to their execution. We apply this "full stack" approach across broad categories and industries, with an intention to change the status quo of what it means to be a strategy consulting firm.
Investing technology is rapidly changing with new categories rising and falling within a year's time. We work with our portfolio to understand their needs and develop application-based solutions. With the input of our industry partner ecosystem, we build quick-to-market products, gather feedback, and expand product offerings from the inside out.
Since its founding in 2019, we have been an early investor and advisor to the financial technology industry. We work closely with clients to empower them to go faster, build sustainable and competitive advantages, and accelerate their natural outcomes.
Markets, like seas, are forever changing and the industry participants are as well. Without eyes on the landscape as it stands today, it's unlikely any firm can safely navigate in the right direction. We provide specific industry research as well as business model research and competitor analysis for teams to quickly get up to speed, and dig more deeply into categories before investing meaningful resources in a new direction.
Beyond establishing the landscape and navigating tough waters, building new products for the market is not something people often ascertain to be an endeavor worth taking. But with the right foundations and research to support the direction, this is a meaningful leap from just being researchers. M7 can build, alongside a company, something more meaningful and differentiated than building in isolation.
With a product shipped, and a course set, there is little left to do but go out into the market and create an adoption curve commensurate with the amount of effort put into a given product. The best feedback is validation from customers. M7 is deeply intertwined into fintech, trading tech, brokerage, exchanges, OMS, EMS, cryptocurrency and payments infrastructure. If there's demand, we will find it in the market.
The foundation of Merchant Seven is in the intricacies of today's markets. From class action claims and services, to brokerage, custody, voter rights, and shareholder mobilization, we have been advising companies which impact the way our capital markets function since 2019.
Market data, trade analytics, backtesting, technical analysis, prop trading, API solutions, you name it. Trading and investing technology is our longest standing practice and has been at the core of Merchant Seven since its founding. From the idea stage through to execution, we help investing technology companies nimly build what the market demands.
The tools now at the disposal of startups and mature corporations have never been better. The overhand of excessive venture capital investment in the space have also created economics that highly favor buyers over sellers. Merchant Seven has worked with some of the largest subscription softwares in the world, as well as helped young companies get their products off the ground and into the hands of right right people.
Company building goes through inflection points each and every day, but the time it takes to build new products or redirect company ambitions can be long and arduous. Select financing can be both opportunity and risk, but if the timing is right, fundraising or strategic partners can catalyze businesses in very positive directions. We have raised close to half a billion for our companies, as well as guided two buyouts to date.
We are located in New York, Los Angeles, with regional offices in London and Rio de Janeiro.
