Martin Fisher CEO
“In 2016, after several years of restructuring and operational improvements to our business, my partner and I decided that would like to put our business up for sale. By this time we had already spoken with other M & A firms and were approached by Osprey just at the right time. The gentleman at Osprey said all the right things and delivered on their promises. Osprey was successful in selling a portion of our business in 2017 and we were very pleased with the outcome.”
Nigel Burbidge
President
“We found the Osprey team to be good people, well connected and experienced in the sale, which allowed us to successfully close the transaction in a timely manner. In the end, it felt like a win–win.

John Mottola
Managing partner
“When I decided the time was right to explore selling my business, our accounting firm referred me to Osprey Capital Partners because they had some mutual customers with positive experiences working together. I can’t thank both firms enough, because in a world where so many firms were pitching me with grand promises for my software business, the team at Osprey provided a welcomed calm to the chaos. The people at Osprey are fantastic to work with, and their clearly honed process proved to be extremely effective. Stephen and Casey clearly set expectations early on, and we had a great time working together through each step of their process. I’m very happy to say that our outcome far exceeded our original expectations, and my business is now in great hands. I’m forever grateful for Stephen, Casey, Bob, and the rest of the team at Osprey.”
Patrick Teas - President
“We found the right partner in Robert Brown and Osprey Capital. Robert’s expertise made the process much easier in the difficult economic environment created by the pandemic.”
Drew Reid
Executive Chairman
“I knew that Osprey shared the same entrepreneurially spirit that I have, and the team from Osprey would be hungrier to get a deal done than some of the large institutional M&A players that I interviewed. I have always lived and thrived in a sales environment where success is highly dependent on effort and skill. That’s what I thought I was getting – and my instincts were bang on. The Osprey team proved to be easy to work with and produced an excellent outcome for the shareholders.”
Steve Voisin
President
“Osprey Capital’s professional process allowed us to secure a transaction with the ideal partner in Canem that ensures the long-term future of our people and our company. It immediately positioned McCaine to leverage the operational and field experience of Canem.”
John Schubert
