What we do
01
Positioning and equity story
We start with the business model, the KPIs and the value drivers, and build an equity story that holds up in front of the most demanding buyers.
02
Materials
Teaser, information memorandum, management presentation, financial model and data room, prepared to answer the questions before they are asked.
03
Buyer mapping and outreach
A mapped universe of strategic acquirers and sponsors, in France and across Europe, approached in a sequence designed to create competitive tension while protecting confidentiality.
04
Negotiation and closing
Offers, exclusivity, due diligence, SPA negotiation alongside your lawyers, and a closing kept on schedule.
Who it is for
Founders preparing a full exit or a partial sale, management teams and sponsors looking for a strategic buyer, and shareholders of software or tech-enabled services companies with an enterprise value between €10m and €200m.
On every mandate, the partners lead the work from the first call to closing, and we take on a deliberately limited number of mandates at a time.
