Lincoln also delivered a comprehensive analysis and valuation in support of a fairness opinion related to the merger of Avenu and ITI. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Paul Colangelo, formerly CEO of Avenu and now CEO of Neumo, commented, “The Lincoln team has been side-by-side with Avenu since the sale to Arlington in 2023 and brings unique insights from their work in the government technology ecosystem. We value them as a thought partner and look forward to their assistance in growing Neumo into the category leader in the years to come.”
