Generational Equity Managing Director Stephen Crisham's team, led by trusted affiliates Curtis Case and Trevor Hill with support from Generational Equity MD Lori Galloway, successfully closed the deal.
"Bauer Software Group, Inc. was quite attracted to Pre1's technologies and its innovative approach in adapting them to current and future demands faced by its publisher clients," said Case.
