Strategic Advisors and Growth Partners
Providing Investment Insight, Transaction Support and Operational Expertise.
Whether you are a founder seeking a step-change and guidance, or an investor looking to boost portfolio value, we can help.
From strategic planning and transaction support to hands-on operational improvement, we can help your growth journey.
Leveraging our experience as investors and advisors, we accelerate growth for growth companies. We have supported high-growth companies through strategic advice, corporate development, joint ventures, special situations, as well as corporate finance, M&A, and capital raising.
Our specialty has been helping leading technology companies consolidate through well-managed acquisitions — an approach we have successfully executed dozens of times. This work has contributed to the creation of some of Europe’s biggest unicorns, in close partnership with venture management teams and leading technology investors across Europe and globally.
We advise leveraging our earlier role as principal investors and general partners, informing our insights to founders and management, investors and shareholders.
Advisory
We support clients formulate corporate strategy, advise on transactions, across M&A and private capital raising, as well as special situations where the corporate and cross-border complexity is high.
We have advised dozens of ventures on inorganic expansion plans. We have managed and executed more than 70 transactions for ventures buying other ventures in 18 different European countries and more globally. This experience cuts across bolt-ons for scale up growth, such as the 30+ transactions for Delivery Hero, as well as sell-side support such as the sale of Vimcar to Battery Ventures.
We execute at speed, efficiently and with diligence, thanks to the combination of our experience and understanding of ventures, supported by our financial, legal, operational and technological expertise
Investment
We are focused on European scale-ups that have demonstrated product-market fit and are ready to scale.
Our focus is on ventures around Series A & B stages, but we will consider earlier or later opportunities.
