With PEAK’s Advisory, WSI Technologies Becomes Valsoft’s Gateway into Public Safety Vertical
SAN FRANCISCO, CA – September 9, 2025 – Peak Technology Partners (“PEAK”), is proud to have served as the exclusive financial advisor to WSI Technologies (“WSI”), a pioneer in secure video recording solutions for public safety and child advocacy markets, on its acquisition by Valsoft Corporation Inc.

Founded in 1977, WSI has built a strong reputation for delivering trusted, mission-critical solutions that help public safety agencies and child advocacy centers protect communities and improve outcomes for vulnerable populations. Its flagship platforms, iRecord and Nexus, support secure interview recording, remote viewing, and streamlined evidence sharing across the law enforcement and judicial ecosystem.
"We're seeing sustained consolidation and strong investor interest across our sell-side mandates within public safety technology, particularly in businesses serving attractive end markets including law enforcement and courts," said Andrew Stivers, Director at Peak Technology Partners. "WSI Technologies has differentiated itself from its peers as a high-performing company with deep relationships within the law enforcement and public safety end markets. It was a privilege to partner with the WSI team through a process that positions them for even greater impact and growth."
