Before partnering with New Harbor Capital in late 2022, Escalon completed two significant acquisitions which tripled the revenue of the company and expanded the FinOps capabilities of the platform. Continued corporate development is a key value driver for the business going forward, with a highly fragmented market of service providers, often individually unable to scale due to lack of technology-enablement and offshore capabilities.
