What we work on

Exit readiness

Working on what a buyer will pay, long before the process opens.

Equity story

Buyers see what your company will become, and pay for it.

Premarketing

Future buyers know your company before you need them.

Key-person risk

Less dependence on you, because buyers price it into their offer.

Sale process

Up to €50M I lead the sale myself. Above that, I select and steer your M&A advisor.

Due diligence

A data room that answers diligence before the questions are asked.

Deal and signing

Offers compared on price and terms, negotiated to the signature.

Case study

The equity story sets the price.

Parloa shows what a strong equity story does to a company’s value.

Challenge

Malte Kosub, CEO of Parloa, wanted to raise a €12.5M Series A. His seed round had been painful, with only one investor left in the pipeline. This time, he wanted to do it right.

Approach
  • Rebuilt the equity story from the ground up
  • Sharpened the narrative around category leadership and inevitability
  • Structured a tight, competitive process to create real momentum
