TAG Venture Partners’ approach to building companies centers around our strong relationship with the management teams and institutional equity sponsors. Below are a few remarks from several of our partners:
	”I have an extremely good relationship with TAG. I’m building a company in a very fast-changing environment. TAG’s strategic insight and strong research capabilities have proven invaluable in helping us to stay ahead of the competition. They have played a continuous and vital role in helping us to set our strategic course and execute the transactions that fuel our rapid growth.”
		William J. Kriss Chief Executive Officer United Plastics Group
	”TAG Venture Partners’ strategy development capabilities and expertise in generating a large number of attractive acquisition opportunities have been critical in turning the vision into a reality.”
		Richard De Herder Chief Executive Officer Array Marketing Group
	”TAG was instrumental to the development and execution of our strategy for Array Marketing Group. In addition to strategic input, TAG developed and approached a list of acquisition targets, and assisted in bringing these transactions to fruition. They have also been strong partners in developing our financing structures and monitoring competitive activity. These are all functions that Brentwood would traditionally perform in-house using our own executives. Our partnership with TAG has allowed us to effectively leverage our already extended organization.”
		Edward McCall General Partner Brentwood Associates
	”TAG has created a unique team of professionals that possess a diverse combination of strategy development, investment banking and entrepreneurial skills, enabling them to quickly assess the opportunity for building companies in targeted vertical markets. They come at problems creatively, work tirelessly, and take a real partner approach in their work with us. Starting a build-up is never easy — partnering with TAG makes it work.”
		Robert B. Hellman, Jr. Managing Director McCown De Leeuw & Company
	”TAG was instrumental as our partner in the development of our strategy to build a leading global player in the medical device and equipment supply chain. TAG helped develop and author the business plan, in addition to identifying nine companies that we acquired in building the business. Their full suite of services helped us to build a $100 million company from an idea, and even more important is the unmatched professionalism, integrity and dedication of everyone at TAG.”
		Richard Effress Partner Kidd & Company
	”TAG has a results-oriented approach … their ability to track down industry information and facilitate potential acquisitions has been instrumental.”
