INNOVA-MEX's Bid for ENKONTROL

by Ramana Nanda, William R. Kerr and Carin-Isabel Knoop

Abstract

In their second year, two Mexican HBS MBAs joined forces to start a search fund based in Mexico City. They had raised money to acquire an existing private company in Mexico with an initial enterprise value between $5 million and $15 million. Just seven months after raising the fund, they were about to close a deal on a target company, but the seller wants to renegotiate.
