Andrew Slavin is one of four co-founders of Ansarada. The others are Sam Riley, Rachel Riley and Daphne Chang. The company was founded in Sydney in 2005, and its name was built from the names of the four founders.
Ansarada built a deal room platform that guided buyers and sellers through mergers and acquisitions. It won over bankers and advisers worldwide while competing with US-backed data room companies.
In February 2024 Datasite agreed to acquire 100% of Ansarada at A$2.50 per share, a 19% premium, by scheme of arrangement.
The ESG, GRC and Board products were carved out to Sam Riley as part of the deal. The takeover completed in 2024.
