Case studies
Cross-border acquisition
Media.net
In March 2017, Beijing Shuzhi Technology Co., a public company on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, acquired Media.net for $900M. It was one of the largest ad tech deals to that date, and Media.net was then the second largest contextual ad tech company in the U.S. after Google.
Mithera managed the asset on Shuzhi’s behalf and bridged the cultural gap between the two companies. Our team also recruited senior executives, restructured Media.net’s finances, and made acquisitions that expanded the business and substantially increased annual profits.
Asia-Pacific expansion
BeyondAI
Alongside our investment in BeyondAI (formerly Beyond Limits), Mithera took responsibility for the company’s Asia-Pacific expansion and provided the senior leadership to carry it out.
From a small initial team, the regional business grew to more than 100 people across Japan, Taiwan, China, Malaysia, and Singapore, through both organic growth and acquisitions. It reached profitability within two years, and its revenue grew at a CAGR of more than 45% from 2020 to 2023.
We also partnered with leading Asian research laboratories to discover new AI applications in infrastructure maintenance.
