Our Process
Unique to the industry, Locust Walk integrates all 3 pillars of our offering on one team ensuring clients receive a wholistic view and execution of the relevant strategy and/or process. Our consulting deliverables are intended to be immediately actionable, grounded in a real-time view of the market and informed by our on-going buy side and sell side deals and capital raises. Should you decide to move ahead with a transaction, our full suite of corporate development services means the knowledge and relationships built with the Locust Walk team is retained, accelerating your move toward a deal.
OUR MODEL
We customize engagements to suit clients’ diverse resources and needs, operating within the following frameworks.
Investment Banking Model
For high-value, time-sensitive processes, we leverage a success-driven approach similar to that of investment banks, enhanced by Locust Walk’s strategic insights, proprietary company mandates, and extensive network.
Hybrid Monthly Plus Success Fees
The majority of our strategic transactions and financings involve a hybrid fee structure, blending a monthly professional fee to cover costs with a success fee, aligning incentives to maximize overall deal value. We offer extensive support beyond typical investment banks, integrating product and company positioning seamlessly with deal execution with activities beyond the typical scope billed on an hourly basis.
Hourly and Fixed Fee Projects
For fixed-scope strategy projects or areas where companies require support for an experienced but under-resourced team, we provide comprehensive solutions on a monthly and/or hourly basis to address any strategic query or support all aspect of deal execution.. In these situations, the Company leverages its own network for deal outreach.
