Deal Spotlight
Apadmi
We delivered sell-side Commercial Due Diligence to support Apadmi and Clearwater International as the business secured a significant minority investment from CBPE. Founded in 2009 and headquartered in Manchester, Apadmi is a leading digital products company specialising in complex mobile applications for major brands across media, healthcare, financial services, retail, and travel.
This work built on our long-standing relationship with Apadmi, having first engaged with the team several years earlier. That continuity gave us a clear view of the business’s evolution, strengthening market position, and enhanced go-to-market capabilities.
What we did
Our VCDD focused on demonstrating Apadmi’s differentiation, market opportunity, and customer advocacy to prospective investors:
Conducted extensive primary research, including interviews with all of Apadmi’s top clients, evidencing market-leading satisfaction, retention, and clear “reasons for win”
Evaluated the strength and repeatability of Apadmi’s delivery model across strategy, design, mobile engineering, and product optimisation
Assessed key market dynamics, including the shift from project-led to ongoing, product-led mobile development driven by rising complexity, integration requirements, and consumer expectations
Assessed key market dynamics, including the shift from project-led to ongoing, product-led mobile development driven by rising complexity, integration requirements, and consumer expectations

We have a strong relationship with GCS and we were delighted to work alongside the GCS team as they provided us with commercial due diligence.
GCS's expertise in the technology space, as well as their analysis and insights, were incredibly valuable during the whole process as we secured investment from CBPE.”
