Start at the Exit...and Wind the Clock Backwards (Final) Reflecting on pivotal moments that led to a $100M exit with Simulations Plus, the journey was not all smooth sailing. Despite facing challenges and disappointments, the team adjusted to adversity navigating through the complexities of COVID and finding success. There were some big orders that fell through, product strategies that did not land, and operational processes to smooth out. It wasn't all rainbows and unicorns, but the experience shaped us into a better company, team, and individuals. The journey also involved some luck. How many people found their next acquisition target at a neighborhood Nerf Gun fight! That is how Erik Guffrey met Murat (Murry) Alper from the Caravel Group met and the rest is history. Pro-ficiency got connected to Simulations Plus at a CFO mixer here in Raleigh. Wes Stewart and Will Frederick made the original connection and speculated that two companies both focused in life sciences and simulations would be better together. As one team member aptly put it, "I want to be both lucky and good." Our exit story would not be complete without acknowledging the beginning of our story. David Hadden had a vision for applying experiential simulations to life sciences. Erik Guffrey and Grant Fowler built a company focused solving the technology needs of life science companies. Murat (Murry) Alper and Renie Dornbusch saw an opening to better serve the needs of medical affairs and commercial teams. The founders remained active in the business all the way through close of the transaction. As you have seen from another post, David Hadden will enjoy catching his breath and planning his next adventure. This is not the end but rather the beginning of the next phase of growth for our company, now Simulations Plus. #SuccessStory #BusinessJourney #AdversityToSuccess #Pro-ficiency #simulation #Simulations-Plus
