“The quality of the team that you choose is very important. Without John and his team, there’s no way we could have maximized value on this sale.”

– Henry Danish, former Chairman and Shareholder of EZ Yield

“Ponterra did an extraordinary job in marketing and making the contacts for us in the industry so that we had an audience.”

– Barrs Lewis, former CEO and Shareholder of Time Management Corporation

“I think Ponterra brought 10 times the value that they cost. They helped us achieve a target that was, frankly, higher than where we were pointed. And I don’t think we would’ve gotten there on our own.”

– Drew Peloubet, former CEO and Shareholder of Restaurant Magic
