Fortitude Advisors enjoyed hosting an exceptional group of founder-owned software businesses at our event in London last week. It was a stimulating and interactive discussion around market opportunities in Europe and the U.S., as well as the myriad of personal and business considerations associated with financing and strategic transactions. Special thanks to Simon Grimshaw from Hogan Lovells for bringing valuable legal perspective and to Christopher Lee from Populous for sharing his experience in undertaking a successful transaction process with our firm.

Fortitude Advisors was proud to play a role in honoring Brian and Adria Sheth and many others for their critical roles in making the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Austin Area flagship campus a reality. We also enjoyed surprising Mario Zambrano with a Super Mario statue to be displayed at the club in his honor, to thank him for stepping up as interim CEO last year. https://lnkd.in/g-s8_uTZ

Our team at Fortitude Advisors enjoyed an exceptional Saturday afternoon with the Populous team at the 150th running of the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs Racetrack! We especially enjoyed experiencing the brand new Populous designed Woodford Reserve Paddock Club and Sports Illustrated Club. The uniquely designed spaces and viewing areas, combined with respect for the tradition of the venue, yielded an incredible experience! #kentuckyderby #churchilldowns

We have a great group of founders and CEOs from leading software companies confirmed, and limited capacity to add a few more.
