Our take
Crosslake Technologies is a portfolio company that has been providing data-driven technology advisory services since 2010, founded by an original member of Microsoft’s Engineering Excellence Team. Originally based in Seattle, the consultancy service has since aided many private equity firms in making business-defining decisions through its rigorous data analysis.
Crosslake has since merged with a similar company - Corsis - based out of New York. This strategic partnership was followed by the acquisition of cybersecurity firm VantagePoint in 2022. These moves underscore Crosslake's clear long-term vision, indicating an ambitious plan set to unfold over the coming years.
Now with the addition of UK-based Intechnica, marking its fourth business acquisition in just three years, Crosslake is demonstrating an impressive trajectory of growth. The acquisition further solidifies Crosslake's position as a prominent player in the dynamic and rapidly evolving technology landscape. This strategic expansion is poised to enhance Crosslake's capabilities and product development, reinforcing its commitment to delivering top-notch analytical solutions to its clients.
