Testimonials

“"We are thrilled to have selected Periscope as our new financial partner. As we leverage our MAESTRA platform to enter new geographies, our growth is accelerating. Having a partner that not only understands how to support a rapidly expanding business and technology platform but also has expertise in our specific sector is critical. The Periscope team has demonstrated that they understand our needs, employ a partnership approach, and have the capabilities, experience, and resources to help propel MAS to its fullest potential."”

Founder, MAS

“"When merging MicroMass with Strategic Pharma Solutions, Periscope’s operating experience and guidance was invaluable during the planning and execution phases of the integration. In addition, they were great supporters of the investment in our product roadmap to support more of the technology needs of our pharma clients. The deliberate integration and focus on all areas of the organization led to a period of rapid growth at the firm, culminating in a highly successful exit to a strategic buyer, which was highly beneficial for all involved."”

Phil Stein

CEO, MicroMass

“"Partnering with the Periscope team has been an amazing experience and better than I could have ever imagined. They are a private equity team that truly comes from an entrepreneurial background and knows how to empower and support their portfolio companies and executive teams. They have rolled up their sleeves and supported us in strategic areas but also given us the freedom to operate the business, bolster our culture, and pursue our shared vision. We’re on a great track to exceed our goals, and personally, I’m having a blast working with the Periscope team and learning new things through our shared experiences."”
