Build
We help corporates build digital capabilities and offerings.
Customer needs change. Challenges from disruptive competitors arise. New market opportunities emerge. Your products and services could themselves be transformed to match today's requirements. To tackle this you want to partner with two types of experts; experts who on one hand have co-founded Europe's biggest startups and understand venture building. On the other hand experts who have successfully guided the world’s biggest organizations through strategic reorientation and change processes.
We have the capabilities you need; the right people, the right skills and the right approaches. We will join your team, co-create the plan, drive change, and coach your people so they can deliver.
Buy
We help to identify and close M&A targets on buy and sell side.
At times acquiring digital capabilities and offerings from existing market players is more advantageous then building them. Target companies not only come with ready-to-market products, but also with a team, a brand and a customer base or IP. In such cases, we advise on all relevant issues related to the corporate acquisition, in particular we know how to support our clients in cross-border transaction scenarios. From working out a M&A-strategy to scouting target companies or facilitating and steering the negotiation process until signing, you can rely on our past experience and diligence.
We also represent the sell-side, especially in the startup eco-system. Due to own entrepreneurial experience we understand your runway limitations and accelerate the process from sourcing and communicating with prospective buyers, leading the technical, legal and financial due diligence to negotiating contracts until closing.
