Bourne Partners was more than our investment bank, they were a value-added partner and extension of our management team. Their team members brought both a unique financial and operational perspective, were extremely professional and have unparalleled knowledge of the healthcare industry. Bourne’s investment and advisory experience, in combination with the resources they were able to bring to the table, were crucial in successfully closing our transaction with the best financial partner for Covis. Bill Collins, CEO, Covis Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
I would highly recommend Bourne Partners as a financial advisor to anyone in the healthcare industry. Unlike other advisory firms, they have actually invested in and operated other pharmaceutical companies, so they bring a unique perspective to the table. Their experience and industry insight were invaluable in bringing our transaction to fruition. Jack Davis, CEO, Covis Pharma Holdings Sarl
