We have 30+ years of experience across multiple sectors – making us uniquely able to identify patterns and see around corners.
As an emerging leader in anti-financial crime management solutions, Verafin needed a partner who understood not only their sector, but also the particular challenges of business-building in the risk management space.
Spectrum had expertise in both, supporting Verafin’s navigation of a complex regulatory environment, helping accelerate their move up-market, and connecting them with knowledgeable board members and advisors.
“Spectrum’s willingness to jump in has truly been a breath of fresh air; their hands-on involvement and insights have given us the boost we needed to target and win deals. It’s like having a secret weapon in our corner.”
Joe Richlen, Chief Revenue Officer at VBA
“We act as connectors, helping our portfolio leaders navigate the legal landscape, and facilitating a knowledgeable, engaging community of peers and experts. ”

Brian Regan
Managing Director & Chief Financial Officer at Spectrum
“We don’t come to our partners with playbooks – we start with curiosity. When my team is getting to know a CEO, founder, or management team, we’re building trust and credibility brick-by-brick – in both directions. ”

Head of Talent at Spectrum
“My role is to help our portfolio companies find accelerated pathways to revenue growth. Often that’s through strategic direction and advice; other times deeper consulting is needed. No two projects are exactly the same, which is what I love most.”

“I break down complicated analyses when applying tax law which helps finance leaders understand risk when making decisions relating to tax strategy. We make the complexity manageable.”
