Progress Partners is a Boston and New York-based corporate advisory firm that works with buyers and sellers of emerging growth companies to complete M&A or private placement transactions. Our deep industry experience, extensive network, and entrepreneurial backgrounds give us the ability to help our clients build and realize superior value. We specialize in four key sectors in the technology ecosystem. Within each of them, our expertise is derived from years of work as entrepreneurs, operators, investors, and mentors. As licensed investment bankers, that background has led us to approach our role as an intimate extension of our client’s management team. In that effort, we become stronger together. We are proud of our ability to recognize and execute upon the right transaction for a given client, rather than simply to be in pursuit of any deal that can be done. Every client engagement has different functional objectives and requires critical thought, but most often Progress Partners is pursuing one or more of the following missions: 1. Develop and implement strategic plans 2. Grow through acquisition of new customers 3. Obtain investment capital to accelerate growth 4. Realize returns through appropriate exit strategies Across our sector coverage, our impact as advisors originates in our ability to recognize characteristics that are inherent to the strongest companies in the market; products and services built from true market demand that solve critical problems, and are supported by fundamental business models. We succeed when our clients succeed. In order to realize this success we operate with full transparency, ready and willing to deliver frank feedback toward the essence of getting it right every time.

Why IF? Innovative Facilitation believes in the power of continually asking - "WHAT if?" The question arose from the word "entelechy" – the becoming actual of one's potential. As natural optimists, the concept of asking “WHAT if?” lead us to think about possibilities versus barriers around the concept of inspiring action for individdual, team and organizational performance. Potential is defined as "capable of being or becoming; a latent excellence or ability that may or may not be developed". In any work environment, our potential can be inhibited by many things including, our mindset, knowledge, skill, roles, responsibilities, position or organizational structure. Innovative Facilitaiton, trusts that, in the end, what deeply matters is if we are conscious of and believe in our own ability, we can control our performance in any aspect of our lives. The more you are self-aware, the more you can build on your strengths, and look for ways to share those strengths across an organization. We ask the question "WHAT if…" to: •rouse an individual to finish the sentence with what is important to them as they look into their future. •initiate action that is inspring, innovative and results-oriented. •focus on the possibilities of how to move beyond a challenge. For all of us at Innovative Facilitation, “WHAT if...” starts a conversation. It guides and inspires individuals to reach their full potential, one conversation at a time.
