Drew Guff (former Director of EPAM Systems, NYSE: EPAM and GlobalLogic) and Shaun Khubchandani from Siguler Guff have joined Solvd’s Board of Directors.

Alex Khursevich, the CEO of Solvd remarked on the cooperation with Enter Capital: “Enter Capital has done a tremendous job for Solvd in finding a strategic investor taking into account the vision of all Founders of the Company. The Enter Capital team was professional and responsive throughout the entire period of cooperation. They helped develop the right negotiation approach and showed the high potential of the business. The successful closing of the transaction with Siguler Guff is the result of more than a year of cooperation between Solvd and Enter Capital.”

Shaun Khubchandani, Managing Director and Portfolio Manager of Siguler Guff added: “We were pleased with the role Enter Capital played in getting the transaction across the finish line despite a very challenging environment for private technology transactions. They were commercial and extremely collaborative which struck a good balance between us (Siguler Guff) and the seller group.”

Andrew Ponomar, the CEO of Enter Capital: “We are glad that the Enter Capital team contributed to the launching of this incredible partnership between such talented entrepreneurs and an investment firm with impressive domain expertise in the technology services space.
