About us

We are a unique investment bank with deep business understanding and passion for growth

We provide leverage to investors and entrepreneurs

Thanks to close and strategic partnerships with selected international partners since 2010, we are able to customise global project teams for a multitude of challenges and needs. Our team of senior individuals provides the required experience as well as the industrial and functional knowledge to ensure best practice. We are partnering with leading management consulting firms as well as local investment banks in many countries and premier business law firms in Sweden. 

Our unique combination of a flexible small boutique setup with access to a hand-picked pool of highly skilled international resources, means a solid reference and knowledge base and strong ability to cover all the functional and industry aspects of any value growth endeavour, including the complete exit process. 

We are pragmatic with a delivery and result-orientated ”get it done” attitude and believe in shared risks and rewards.

We are investors ourselves

Besides advising companies in financial transactions, we are also active angel investors. We have a passion for entrepreneurship and thrive on supporting early-stage companies in their growth journeys. Thus, we are sometimes providing financial backing to companies we love – either on our own or in syndication with friends. To date, we’ve invested in 13 companies in various sectors.

Examples of cool companies that we’ve invested in: 12ID, Fairlo, FeedbackFrog, GruppSol, LOX Container Technology, Medituner, Push Centers, VOI, War On Cancer. 

Do not hesitate to reach out if you wish to pitch your business.

The value growth process

We work with the entire process from conducting a portfolio assessment to the actual transformation of a specific portfolio company. Our Value Growth process provides a systematic approach and the necessary tools to create aggressive qualitative values. By ensuring that created values are matching the market demand, our process contributes to a successful and smooth exit.

The exit process

All our engagements lead to a capitalization of enterprise values. The typical situation is when a portfolio company is out for sale. We manage exits in a structured M&A process, divided into two main parts; deal assessment and deal execution. During the deal assessment part, the focus is set on developing an optimal market positioning and identification of the Buyer universe, including a first reach-out to selected accounts.

During the execution part, a short-list of potential buyers is being drafted, interest in the opportunity is being created, deepened and driven to a firm intent to purchase. Then, we facilitate a systematic due diligence process and, in parallel, conduct negotiations, structure the deal and close the transaction.
