"They were brought in late in the process shortly before signing of the agreements, and we were impressed by SRS' responsiveness and their ability to meet our tight deadline."

"Outsourcing the shareholder rep function to SRS post closing was a no-brainer", adds Bill Tai, General Partner, Charles River Ventures.
