White Paper: Driving Market Leadership in IT & Cybersecurity Through AI-Driven Acquisitions
INTRODUCTION
In an increasingly digitized world, IT and cybersecurity are essential pillars for businesses and governments alike. At Everest Assets Group (EAG), we see the convergence of artificial intelligence (AI), digital transformation, and cybersecurity as a unique market opportunity to create a dominant portfolio of firms capable of delivering sustainable growth and value.
EAG’s core mission objectives are simple yet bold: Seize the market. Dominate IT and Cybersecurity. Execute with AI-guided precision.
This mission forms the foundation of our strategy to position EAG as a leader in the IT and cybersecurity sectors, providing investors with exceptional value through market-leading acquisitions, seamless integration, and cutting-edge AI-driven financial optimizations.
This white paper explores how EAG implements this mission through focused acquisitions, profit maximization, and aggressive post-IPO growth plans, shaping EAG's journey toward a successful Initial Public Offering (IPO) on the AIM of the London Stock Exchange by 2028-29.

Chairman's Intent: Shape businesses and markets in preparation for a successful IPO. Achieve sustained growth, maximize investor returns, and establish EAG as a market leader.
IMPLEMENTATION
There are six key phases that collectively achieve the above mission. These are:
1. Acquiring and Integrating IT & Cybersecurity Firms
A key pillar of EAG’s strategy is to acquire high-potential IT and cybersecurity firms, targeting those that have significant growth prospects but underutilized assets or suboptimal financial management.
Strategic Acquisitions: EAG identifies firms with strong fundamentals but untapped potential, particularly in areas like intellectual property, contracts, and work-in-progress assets that can be immediately leveraged for value creation.
Robust Integration: After each acquisition, EAG employs an efficient integration process, which aligns culture, operations, and technology across the newly acquired firm and the broader EAG group. This process is guided by EAG’s proprietary AI algorithms, which are designed to streamline financials, centralize overheads, and unlock hidden value.
Through this strategy, EAG rapidly enhances the Net Asset Value (NAV) of acquired firms by recognizing off-book assets, an approach that has demonstrated consistent success in increasing NAV by up to 1400% for previous clients in the UK.
2. Optimizing Profitability Through AI-Driven Operations
EAG leverages AI to drive operational efficiency across its portfolio of companies. The AI tools, including those developed by our strategic partner Runagood, are powered by real-world insights from a £200M UK government database. These algorithms are uniquely designed to optimize profit margins by consolidating operations, centralizing resources, and streamlining profit-and-loss (P&L) management.
Optimize P&L: EAG integrates AI to optimize financial performance across all its portfolio companies. This process leads to cost savings, enhanced profitability, and a 2x-3x EBITDA growth within 18-24 months of acquisition.
Technology & Innovation: With innovation at the core of our strategy, EAG consistently updates its AI tools to remain ahead of industry trends, ensuring that portfolio firms benefit from technological advances in real-time.
This AI-guided financial precision enables EAG to increase the value of each firm and achieve a higher SPM (Share Price Multiplier) for investors, positioning us favorably for a high-growth IPO.
3. Enhancing Net Asset Value (NAV)
EAG’s ability to identify underutilized assets—whether real estate, intellectual property, or long-term contracts—within acquired firms is a crucial component of its strategy to boost NAV. By recognizing and valuing off-book assets, we immediately strengthen the financial position of the acquired firms and improve creditworthiness. This NAV enhancement serves as the foundation of EAG’s financial growth.
NAV Growth Impact: With our proprietary algorithms, we project an average 200% NAV increase per firm post-acquisition, significantly improving credit ratings and easing access to financing for both the acquired firm and the EAG group.
Post-IPO Potential: With a NAV boost, EAG plans to list on AIM with a Share Price Multiplier (SPM) of x22, which aligns with historical averages on the London Stock Exchange. If EAG achieves its best-case scenario, the SPM could reach x34, leading to a market capitalization of over £10.5 billion.
By enhancing NAV, EAG ensures that each acquisition directly contributes to the overall value of the group, creating a sustainable path for long-term growth.
4. Preparing for a Successful IPO
The ultimate goal of EAG’s strategy is a successful IPO on the AIM of the London Stock Exchange by 2028-29. To achieve this, EAG is building investor confidence through aggressive promotional activities, strong corporate governance, and rigorous performance monitoring.
IPO Strategy: EAG’s aggressive marketing strategy will position the firm favorably in the eyes of institutional investors, aiming for an IPO market capitalization that reflects the strong fundamentals and consistent growth of our portfolio companies.
Market Differentiation: By showcasing AI-driven financial precision, sustainability initiatives, and long-term growth strategies, EAG differentiates itself in the crowded IT and cybersecurity markets, attracting investors who are looking for both short-term returns and long-term stability.
5. Post-IPO Growth Strategy
EAG’s post-IPO vision is to further solidify its position as a dominant force in IT and cybersecurity by acquiring larger strategic targets, particularly in Europe and the US.
Global Expansion: Post-IPO, EAG plans to accelerate its expansion into key markets, initially targeting IT and cybersecurity firms in Europe, the Nordic region, and ultimately the US. These acquisitions will focus on firms with enterprise-level service offerings and underutilized technological assets.
Long-Term Value Creation: EAG’s AI-driven approach to operations and cost management will be key in ensuring long-term profitability and value creation, even post-IPO. This strategy aligns with our goal of sustained growth and market leadership.
6. Commitment to Stakeholders
EAG is committed to creating value for all stakeholders, including investors, employees, and clients. With strong governance, transparency, and accountability at the core of our business model, we provide comprehensive reporting mechanisms to monitor performance, align interests, and drive shared success.
Sustainability & ESG: As part of our commitment to responsible growth, EAG integrates sustainability measures across all operations to enhance long-term value creation and environmental responsibility.
Stakeholder Engagement: We actively foster strong relationships with our stakeholders, ensuring that our mission and growth strategies are aligned with the needs and interests of our investors, employees, and clients.
