Innovative M&A Solutions for Inorganic Growth

Athena Associates is a full-service strategic Mergers & Acquisitions boutique specializing in buy-side transactions. As trusted long-term strategic partners, we work closely with privately-owned lower middle market companies to not only formulate inorganic growth strategies but also to execute the subsequent acquisition transactions.

​​

As long-term M&A partners, we have consummated several complex strategic acquisitions across different industries and deal sizes, and are familiar with the myriad of challenges and pitfalls that exist in undertaking a successful strategic acquisition: from realistically stating the strategic rationale for making an acquisition, the Investment Thesis, to clearly identifying the external resources & capabilities needed to be acquired to execute the company's strategy. 

​​

The decision to undertake a time-consuming and inherently risky business combination, whether to grow and protect the company’s core or to expand into new sectors, should only be taken after exhaustive deliberations involving fact-based analyses and strategic evaluation of external opportunities and trends. As your trusted advisor, we leverage our large- company experience, proprietary tools, and partner ecosystem to ensure your success throughout your M&A value creation process through faster, more efficient, and lower-risk acquisitions.
