These guys just rock! I could not be happier with having chosen Pharus as our investment banking advisor. Since I knew this would be once-in-a-lifetime deal for me and whole team, I wanted to set multiple records and Pharus accepted the challenge - and boy we set many. At every step Pharus added immense value and astutely guided us to the most optimal outcome for the shareholders and for everyone in Idean. I'm very pleased with their experience, dedication, and diligence - working hard 24/7 as one team, we were able to get a complicated deal closed in a compressed time frame. Pharus was with us right from beginning to end to ensure a successful process. The way they guided me and the team with a human touch was just amazing - I truly felt they had our back all the time. We could not have achieved these results without Pharus - a deal that worked like a dream for all the stakeholders.
