Bogdan Pitigoi

"Blu Capital Partners (Tudor Mafteianu) represented the Tester Grup in the role of strategic and financial consultant to attract an investor for the Solo industrial & logistics park in Iași. Thanks to Blu Capital Partners' (BCP) relations with a wide range of investors, BCP has achieved a competitive selling process through which we managed to attract offers from several investors, both local and international. BCP advised in choosing the right investor for the Tester Grup, namely the investment fund Oresa Ventures. BCP brought the necessary arguments in the negotiation and assisted the Tester Grup until the successful completion of the transaction with Oresa Ventures. I recommend BCP to entrepreneurial businesses that want to attract investors."
