Unlocking Capital and Exponential Growth for an Israeli Tech Company through Countertrade
Here's What We Do Better
CLIENT BACKGROUND
Our client was an innovative technology company based in Israel that specialized in cybersecurity solutions. Their target market included large multinational corporations, government agencies, and small-to-medium-sized enterprises across various industries. Despite having cutting-edge products and services, the company struggled with undercapitalization and difficulty accessing capital for expansion.
CLIENT CHALLENGE
The client’s primary challenge was finding ways to access capital to invest in research and development, expand its market reach, and scale its operations. Traditional funding sources were not sufficient to meet their growing needs, and they sought alternative solutions to overcome these constraints.
SOLUTIONS
SOLUTION
Our team devised a multi-faceted approach using various countertrade mechanisms tailored to the client’s specific needs, including Counter-Purchase, Offsets (Direct and Indirect), Joint Ventures (JVs), and Industrial Cooperation.
Implementation #1
Counter-Purchase: We assisted the client in establishing a counterpurchase agreement with a leading European cybersecurity firm. The agreement allowed our client to sell its products and services to the European firm, while simultaneously agreeing to purchase complementary cybersecurity solutions from the European firm for their own use.
Offsets: We facilitated direct and indirect offset agreements with suppliers in various countries, leading to reduced production costs and access to new markets. The direct offsets involved the purchase of materials and services, while the indirect offsets focused on investments in research and development, job creation, and technology transfers.
Joint Ventures: We helped the client identify strategic partners and forge joint ventures with established cybersecurity companies in key markets, providing access to resources and expertise, and sharing risks and rewards.
Industrial Cooperation: We enabled the client to engage in industrial cooperation agreements with multinational corporations and governments, sharing technology, expertise, and resources to improve their competitiveness and facilitate market entry.
