Whether you're exploring strategic acquisitions to accelerate growth or considering an exit, we bring deep sector expertise, global investor and acquirer networks, and a sharp understanding of what drives value in today's innovation economy.

Our services include:

  • Buy-side and sell-side advisory

  • Strategic acquirer targeting and outreach

  • Financial modeling and valuation

  • Deal negotiation and structuring

  • Due diligence coordination

Secondary Share Disposals

Liquidity without Losing Control

We help founders, early employees, and other shareholders realize liquidity by selling a portion of their equity—without waiting for a full company exit or sacrificing operational control. Whether through structured secondary sales or one-off transactions, we connect shareholders with aligned investors and navigate pricing, compliance, and stakeholder alignment to ensure a smooth, discreet, and value-maximizing process.

Sector Agnostic

We don’t chase trends—we back vision. Our sector-agnostic approach empowers us to focus on exceptional teams, business models, and market opportunities wherever they emerge. From AI to consumer, fintech to frontier tech, we bring deep operational insight and tailored strategy to every engagement, regardless of industry.
