Having worked with the Waud Capital team once before, I was thrilled to kick off our second partnership with the launch of our enterprise application software campaign earlier this year. Waud’s executive partnership model and ecosystem of resources are foundational to their investment strategy and clear differentiators in the market. Following the launch of our campaign, we quickly got to work and are greatly excited by our investment in Science Exchange, a premier SaaS asset with significant potential and a strong value proposition in the life sciences vertical end market. I look forward to working alongside the executive leadership team and the Waud Capital team to execute upon this potential.
