SCD advises Hypothesis on their sale to McKinsey & Company

For the sellers, the deal allowed them to leverage existing relationships with large clients and replicate Hypothesis’ model on a larger scale while offering key staff professional growth opportunities in a competitive talent market.

McKinsey successfully launched their “Build by McKinsey” offering in Australia by acquiring Hypothesis.

SCD’s strong local track record and high degree of credibility in the market were instrumental in generating 2 high-quality offers, one of which came from a global consulting leader.

SCD’s efficient execution of the sale, following a year of preparation, ensured a smooth process, particularly during the rigorous and lengthy due diligence required by the US-headquartered buyer. SCD successfully managed the workload, reducing the burden on the founders, and secured their transition as partners at McKinsey, where they launched the “Build by McKinsey” offering in Australia.
