DealMarket AG partners with Trestle Group Foundation

Trestle Group Foundation’s mission is to empower women entrepreneurs in developing and emerging economies by providing vital executive human capital support. DealMarket.com is an online platform enabling private equity buyers, sellers and advisors to maximize opportunities around the world – a one-stop shop for PE professionals.

This unique partnership provides a critical bridge between women entrepreneurs seeking support and the Foundation’s search to identify high-potential women entrepreneurs in emerging economies to participate in their programs. As a second stage, the DealMarket platform allows qualified entrepreneurs to access the investment community.

“Identifying talented women entrepreneurs to support can be a challenge,” said Dana Brice Smith, Trestle Group Foundation Managing Director. “The DealMarket platform will help make the process more efficient and allow us to reach a greater audience,” he continued. “Particularly exciting is the second step, which allows us to provide access to financial support through the investment community – this is always a critical challenge to be addressed for our entrepreneurs.”

“We are excited to be able to provide a comprehensive solution for Trestle Group Foundation,” said Urs Haeusler, CEO, DealMarket. “Our technology will be of great benefit in developing a comprehensive overview of women entrepreneurs in emerging markets and provides an efficient bridge between financial support required and the investment community.

Dealmarket began operations in March 2011. The start-up is based in Zurich.
