London / Barcelona – 2026
Value Creation – Alternative (VC-A), a global strategy and investment advisory firm, is pleased to announce that it has been recognised with the Strategist 2026 Award by GPMG as Investment Banking Firm of the Year 2026. The award acknowledges organisations that demonstrate outstanding strategic insight and the ability to translate vision into actionable growth initiatives.
This distinction reflects VC-A’s continued commitment to helping organisations identify and execute strategic opportunities across borders, industries, and capital markets.
A Strategy Platform Designed to Find the “Missing Piece”
Founded in 2002, VC-A has built a global advisory ecosystem designed to support companies throughout the entire life cycle of their corporate development programmes — from strategy definition and partner search to fundraising, acquisitions, and digital transformation.
Over the years, the organisation has developed a unique model combining:
- A global network of 1,200+ seasoned professionals
- More than 35,000 business contacts worldwide
- Over 5,000 investors within its ecosystem
- A proprietary VC-A M&A Suite supporting deal sourcing, analysis, and collaboration
Collectively, VC-A members have advised on more than US$100 billion in M&A and fundraising transactions, supporting clients in navigating complex strategic and financial decisions.
The firm’s methodology combines deep analysis, structured processes, and cross-sector collaboration, enabling clients to identify the right counterparties, follow the right opportunities, and communicate the right strategic message to the market.
Cross-Pollination as a Strategic Advantage
A key element of VC-A’s approach is the concept of cross-pollination — connecting ideas, partners, capital sources, and technologies across sectors and geographies.
By leveraging its global network and intelligence tools, VC-A helps organisations uncover opportunities that may not be immediately visible, often revealing the “missing piece” required to unlock new growth paths.
This approach allows clients to move beyond traditional advisory models and explore new partnerships, innovative deal structures, and alternative financing strategies.
Continuing to Build a Global Ecosystem
Receiving the Strategist 2026 Award reinforces VC-A’s mission to support entrepreneurs, corporates, and investors in building stronger, more resilient organisations.
The firm will continue expanding its ecosystem of professionals, investors, and strategic partners while developing new programmes focused on digital transformation, AI adoption, fundraising solutions, and international M&A opportunities.
