Some time ago I was approached by Allegro, as was, pitching their services.
I had been burnt by two previous suppliers who had ended up being fuelled by large amounts of investor cash. In both cases the service had changed from being one that was customer focused to one that was new sales focused, under the new regime. In both cases this seemed to permeate from the CEO down and across the whole organisation. Having done a bit of research I decided not to enter into any discussions with Allegro. There seems to be a pattern of change once investors are heavily involved in growing a business, and so far my anecdotal analysis is that it tends to be one that is detrimental to service quality. -Paul-
