At Progress Partners we had the privilege of advising our esteemed client, Content Lab throughout their acquisition process by SAMY Alliance. Today, we are thrilled to celebrate this significant milestone that underscores the power of investment banking, merger and acquisition (M&A) expertise, and unwavering teamwork. From the outset, our mission was to ensure a seamless transition and maximize the strategic value of this partnership. A special congratulations to the SAMY team for completing the strategic acquisition of Content Lab! This union combines Content Lab’s innovative solutions with SAMY Alliance’s exceptional expertise and resources, setting the stage for unparalleled growth and industry impact. Kudos to our leaders, Senior Managing Director, Chris Legg, Managing Director David Arslanian, and Vice President Max Wiley, whose outstanding leadership and dedication were pivotal in driving this process forward. Their commitment exemplifies the essence of teamwork and strategic foresight. As we move forward, this partnership promises to deliver incredible value to our clients and redefine standards within the industry. We are excited to witness the transformative journey ahead and the lasting legacy this collaboration will create.

About us
Progress Partners is a Boston and New York-based corporate advisory firm that works with buyers and sellers of emerging growth companies to complete M&A or private placement transactions. Our deep industry experience, extensive network, and entrepreneurial backgrounds give us the ability to help our clients build and realize superior value. We specialize in four key sectors in the technology ecosystem. Within each of them, our expertise is derived from years of work as entrepreneurs, operators, investors, and mentors. As licensed investment bankers, that background has led us to approach our role as an intimate extension of our client’s management team. In that effort, we become stronger together. We are proud of our ability to recognize and execute upon the right transaction for a given client, rather than simply to be in pursuit of any deal that can be done. Every client engagement has different functional objectives and requires critical thought, but most often Progress Partners is pursuing one or more of the following missions: 1. Develop and implement strategic plans 2. Grow through acquisition of new customers 3. Obtain investment capital to accelerate growth 4. Realize returns through appropriate exit strategies Across our sector coverage, our impact as advisors originates in our ability to recognize characteristics that are inherent to the strongest companies in the market; products and services built from true market demand that solve critical problems, and are supported by fundamental business models. We succeed when our clients succeed. In order to realize this success we operate with full transparency, ready and willing to deliver frank feedback toward the essence of getting it right every time.

📢 BREAKING: Apple just announced a $500 BILLION investment in the U.S. over the next four years—on the heels of the $500B #AI infrastructure joint venture. 💬 Tim Harned, Managing Director, Group Head, #RetailTechnologies and #Commerce, captures the significance of this moment: “Collectively, these initial $1 Trillion in pledges from technology visionaries will be the necessary fuel to re-invigorate advanced manufacturing and technology domestically and will help ensure that the U.S. continues to be the leader in AI, silicon engineering, and broad-based innovation. A wonderful side-benefit happens to be tens of thousands of high-skilled jobs for this generation and next.” 💡 What do you believe will be the most transformative result of this $1T investment? 📊 Vote & drop your thoughts in the comments!

Chris, a Flag, and a Championship Night 🇨🇦🏒 If you’re wondering whose massive Canadian flag that is in the picture—yes, that would be Chris Legg and wife, Heidi Legg. One of Progress Partners, a proud #Montreal native, and apparently the most prepared fan in the building. He didn’t just show up for Team Canada’s big win last night—he brought his own flag to make sure everyone knew where his loyalties stood. Final score? Canada takes it 3-2 in OT, thanks to Connor McDavid doing Connor McDavid things. 🇨🇦🔥 Chris wouldn’t have missed it for anything. And let’s be honest—whether it’s hockey or investment banking, success comes down to preparation, passion, and showing up ready to make an impact. What’s the best live sports moment you’ve ever witnessed? Let’s hear it! #HockeyNight #CanadaVsUSA #ConnorMcDavid #4NationsFaceOff #InvestmentBanking #Teamwork #WinningMindset #FlagGameStrong
