In their words.

Watson moved faster than the three banks we'd been circling for eleven months. Indicative terms on a Tuesday, funded in time for our third drawdown by late summer.

Watson funded three facilities for us in under a year. The value is in the clarity. We know within days whether a deal clears, and what the path to close looks like.
