Tenzing acted as the exclusive financial advisor to Tiny Capital Ltd. and its founders on the private placement of Tiny stock in advance of its listing.
Most investment bankers think of you as a walking fee and your business as a spreadsheet. Louis is a human and plays the long game. When he handled an important deal for me, he brought creativity and found a solution that gave me the outcome I wanted.
Tenzing was the exclusive financial advisor for Button Inc., assisting in their management buyout and securing the transaction financing.
Tenzing was there through the many ups and downs that come with negotiating a leveraged management buyout. Through all of it, they were communicative, diligent, helped manage all the stakeholders and secured the right debt to reach a positive outcome.

Andrew Wilkinson to Louis Kaumeyer on the day Tenzing was created.
Tenzing was founded by Louis Kaumeyer, Andrew Wilkinson, and Chris Sparling. All three founders had experienced investment banking from different perspectives, sharing a disappointment with how most investment banks worked.
Louis found the investment banking culture restrictive and toxic, stifling creativity and causing valuable employees to leave for better opportunities. Louis felt that creating a culture that allowed employees to feel empowered and valued would result in happier employees and extraordinary client results.
While Andrew and Chris, who had successfully founded and invested in various businesses through Tiny, felt that investment banks failed to deliver the agility and result-oriented execution that their substantial fees warranted.
Similar to how Tiny has become the buyer that sellers dream of by keeping things simple, Tenzing keeps the process simple for clients and focuses on execution and the aspects of the deal that lead to the client's desired outcome.
