Quotes from our Partners

Kartesia care about important matters and will challenge management appropriately.

PORTFOLIO COMPANY CEO

Kartesia will find a solution on a deal that others would not have thought of. There is one transaction that I am working with them on at present, and the team at Kartesia has been particularly inventive in proposing an innovative and bespoke solution for structuring the debt priorities.

BROKER

Kartesia is interested in helping to grow a business and therefore was keen to support this transaction. They were able to provide a fully funded and committed transaction within 60 days.

SPONSOR

Other mezzanine providers tend to focus on plain vanilla transactions whereas Kartesia is more flexible and […] supports the external growth plans for the business. Ultimately Kartesia became the sole mezzanine financing provider, as well as the minority shareholder.

SPONSOR

Our company was the best restructuring of debt I have ever seen, as Kartesia was able to propose a solution which enabled the company to continue where others would have weakened it. It was a highly complex situation.

PORTFOLIO COMPANY CEO

What differentiates Kartesia is they are very responsive and adaptable. They have a flexibility that others do not possess. Kartesia is good at creating relationships in the markets and behave as a market participant.
