Testimonial

"Catapult represented Leverage Software in its sale to Telligent. Although when I hired Catapult my plan was to primarily use them as an insurance policy to make sure the buyer we were already in negotiations with treated us fairly, things did not turn out as originally planned. In fact, the original company did not stand up to their offer and Catapult was able to quickly and efficiently bring other parties into the mix. They proved invaluable in guiding us through a fairly complex set of negotiations and worked seamlessly with our legal advisors to produce the best possible outcome for all of the stakeholders in our company."
John Stanton, CEO of Leverage Software
