When XchangePoint needed expansion funding in 2002 the management team turned to AHV for assistance. AHV proved to be an excellent choice as they were able to tap the VC markets across Europe. Despite very difficult market conditions following the dotcom bust, AHV were able to secure significant new investment for XchangePoint. AHV were excellent to work with, being both very focussed on the task but also sensitive to the needs of the company.
