FOUNDER TESTIMONIALS

What Our Founders Say

Alpine and (Ascend) have been great partners. It has been the best decision I could have made for myself, the firm, our employees and our clients. I’m proud to be one of the first firms that joined Ascend, and I am confident in where Ascend is going to be in the future.

From the first call, they were helpful, they moved quickly—it was impressive how smooth and fast the process was. It took less than three months from that first conversation to close. And they did what they said they were going to do. It was actually a fun experience.

There was also a real focus on retaining talent, which was critical to me—I’d seen other private equity firms strip businesses they acquired of everything clients loved, including experienced employees. The last thing I wanted was to see people I’d worked with for more than a quarter of a century lose their jobs.
