Contakt World Reveals M&A Strategy Led by Objective Capital Partners

OCEANSIDE and SAN DIEGO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / October 28, 2020 / Contakt LLC, subsidiary of Contakt World Technologies Corp. ("Contakt World"), a technology company modernizing the contact tracing process, today announced its retention of Objective Capital Partners ("Objective") - a leading US. middle-market investment banking and valuation firm in the United States specializing in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and valuation advisory services.

Among their core industries of focus, Objective maintains significant transaction volume and core competencies in technology, healthcare, life sciences, business services, manufacturing & distribution, and consumer segments. Contakt World determined Objective to be a perfect fit based on their executive team's successful exection of over 500 M&A advisory engagements in these areas. Objective targets tranasaction sizes in the lower middle-market. Objective's rigorous deal planning and execution has earned them awards from The M&A Advisor, Acquisition International, BNY Mellon, and more, for awards including Technology Deal of The Year 2019, Consumer Discretionary Deal of The Year 2019, Corporate/Strategic Deal of The Year 2019, and more. Contakt World has engaged Objective to focus on buy-side M&A.

"We remain inspired by public health icon Bill Foege who helped stop smallpox from decimating the planet, former CDC Director, and co-founder of leading NGOs CDC Foundation and The Task Force for Global Health. Our vision at Contakt World is to become the world's largest, ethical contact tracing and digital health surveillance system - a trusted link between public health agencies and their communities. Due to the speed at which this market operates and the urgency for effective COVID-19 contact tracing that transcends barriers of technology, accessibility, and trust, M&A is an essential part of Contakt World's overall strategy," said Justin Beck, CEO of Contakt World.

With Objective leading buy-side M&A transaction cycles, Contakt World intends to acquire and/or integrate disparate apps, technologies, and companies that have useful tools or existing market share to enable public health agencies and officials to better preserve individual privacy across borders. M&A transactions also mean Contakt World can accelerate de-identified data collection for health agencies and research, while adding new top-line revenue models for each deal by connecting B2B/B2I sales opportunities with B2G contracts, and vice versa.

Matthew Pelo, Vice President at Objective Capital Partners, stated, "We're excited about our engagement with Contakt World, including the team they have assembled of biotech, life sciences, health equity, and public health experts. Public health as a capital market segment may be underestimated, as the pandemic brings new attention to the irreplaceable work of epidemiologists, public health officials, and the local, state and national agencies that are tasked with reducing the socioeconomic impact of COVID-19, now supplemented with significant capital resources from global governments."

Pelo added "In leading their M&A strategy, we support Contakt World's mission to ensure that no other contagion will affect the world in the future the way COVID-19 has, and believe that effective digital tracing systems must transcend trust, technology, and accessibility barriers to achieve broad adoption and efficacy." Prospective acquisitions for Contakt World in public health and pandemic response are encouraged to contact Objective as below.
