• “Gridley provided the right strategic advice upfront and then executed a high quality, efficient process in the sale of Knowledge Networks to GfK. This is a firm that is simply focused on their client’s best interest, not theirs. I highly recommend the Gridley team.”

    Fredric W. Harman, Managing Partner, Oak Investment Partners

  • “Gridley & Company gave us exactly what we were looking for: solid expertise in the marketing information industry, access to an impressive network of potential buyers, and the tenacity of a dedicated and experienced team of professionals.”

    Simon Kooyman, CEO of Knowledge Networks

  • “Gridley has been a terrific strategic partner for us
    since 2007. We have worked with them to successfully complete
    five acquisitions across multiple digital marketing sectors. The Gridley team often uses its network to bring us potential business partnership opportunities and introduce us to relevant senior executives in the industry. They go beyond just being a ‘transaction oriented’
    investment bank and we appreciate that.”

    Michael Rubin, Founder and CEO, GSI Commerce

  • “The Gridley team did a great job selling our company. They took a risk to get the business, stood behind their convictions, and approached the market in a smart, strategic way. Gridley listened carefully to my objectives and concerns.  They introduced us to parties outside our normal circles, ultimately resulting in a great match that led to a very successful transaction. I would highly recommend Gridley to anyone selling their company.”

    Mark Anstey, President, DataStream Content Solutions, LLC
