Their detailed analysis of our capital structure led them to advise a convertible issuance and simultaneous repurchase, which included a complete analysis related to refinancing tactics for the convertible. During the entire process, they were an extension of our team; and importantly, they were with us during the week of execution - providing advice, analysis, and support during the negotiations with investors"

It was great to have their expertise when making some of the key decisions as we moved forward with the transaction. I also really appreciated the team’s responsiveness. It seemed like they were living behind their computers 24/7! JWCA has some raving fans here at GBT and we look forward to working with them again.”

"JWCA was a seamless extension of the HubSpot team. They spent a great deal of time with our audit, finance and legal teams understanding the basics of a convertible bond.
