Ben was a huge asset to me as I was working through the process of selling my software business I ran for over 15 years. Ultimately the proof is that Ben and his team were the ones who initially contacted our eventual acquirer and helped us navigate the various offers, and helping us to find the best home for me and my team. I'd hire Ben again if I were ever to go through this again.
Clay Roach, CEO at StreamWeaver
Ben ran the process for us that resulted in the acquisition of StreamWeaver by BMC. Ben's extensive rolodex helped open a lot of doors - but more importantly his ability to finesse through some of the harder things that come up in every transaction was incredible. We got the right valuation for our sale, in no small part because of Ben's guidance and savvy. I have quite a few transactions under my belt, and I am sure that I'll bring Ben and his team in on my next one.

Ascento Capital represented my company Proant, a leading IoT antenna company in Sweden, on a sell side M&A transaction. Ben Boissevain led the deal and did a terrific job. He conducted a global search with a wide outreach to over 100 targets. We had serious interest from companies in the US, Europe, and Asia. Due to the vigorous auction process, the valuation of Proant exceeded my expectations. We selected Abracon in the US as the buyer since it was the best strategic fit. Ben was very professional, action oriented and provided excellent advice. I highly recommend Ben to others for M&A advisory services.

I worked with Ben on a second transaction together, NIC's acquisition of senior living industry market analytics platform VisionLTC. Ben Boissevain was instrumental in the success of NIC’s acquisition of VisionLTC. Mr. Boissevain’s senior level connections in the tech sector, decades of experience in M&A, and his background in corporate law, all contributed to a highly successful transaction.

We work with a lot of closely held institutionally and founder majority owned companies. Ben has served our companies a number of times, and has delivered every time. He and his team have a high level of integrity, a trait that is sorely missing among many bankers. I'd use him again for sure.
