SenaHill offers a full suite of investment, operating and advisory services to early stage and middle-market companies.  "LeoGroup's strategic commitment allows us to accelerate the expansion of our franchise and it greatly increases the investment capital at our disposal to deploy into the latest innovations in the Financial Services industry," says SenaHill's partner Justin Brownhill.

"Our investment gives us immediate exposure to a diversified portfolio of disruptive fintech companies with future access to a broad spectrum of exciting ideas that we may otherwise not see," says Matt Allain, Sr. Managing Director of LeoGroup.  SenaHill, formed by industry veterans and operating executives, has vetted over 500 emerging companies since its inception in early 2013.    "Their ability to source, evaluate, invest, and most importantly scale companies through their growth life-cycle makes them a very valuable partner for us."

The genesis of the strategic relationship was predicated on a shared enthusiasm to invest and provide professional services to the surging financial technology sector.   "We expect our two firms to share ideas, co-invest, and have an expansive and productive relationship," says SenaHill partner Neil DeSena.   "Outside of investment capital, LeoGroup and SenaHill bring a host of services including investment banking, capital introduction, executive consulting, tax planning, and CFO services to the table".
