GP Bullhound Partnership
Hot on the heels of John Moore’s move to Singapore to run our Southeast Asia practice, today we announce an exclusive partnership with global tech investment bank GP Bullhound.
This partnership changes the game for our clients. The combined 200-strong team working across 16 offices in the UK, EU, USA, Singapore, Australia and New Zealand makes us the obvious choice for Asia Pacific tech companies seeking strategic advice, Series B through to pre-IPO raises and M&A. Read about it here.
NRP and GP Bullhound are already working together as advisor to global experience platform Magic Memories, and we have a number of deals in the pipeline.
There’s an important footnote to this development: NRP also entered a successful equity partnership with Southeast Asian investment bank PrimePartners in 2020, giving us a reach and relationships in Southeast Asia and Australasia that are hard to beat.
