01 What We Do

Sell-side M&A advisory, executed exceptionally

One focus, done at the highest level. We help AI founders and their investors prepare for and achieve premium exits. Our strategic capital practice supports the mission.

Our Core

Sell-Side M&A Advisory

Strategic exit advisory for AI, deep tech, and platform companies. We prepare the equity story, stress-test DD readiness, run competitive processes, and connect founders with the acquirers who pay premium. We focus on $20M–$500M transactions where AI sector expertise and buyer relationships decide the outcome.

Strategic Capital

Invest & Co-Invest

For select companies, we invest directly and co-invest alongside our network. Our capital comes with operator support: GTM, international expansion (EU ↔ US ↔ Israel), and board-level guidance. We back companies we believe in, and when the time comes, we advise on the exit.

Fund Exit Advisory

Portfolio Liquidity for Funds

We partner with VC and growth equity funds to systematically drive portfolio exits. Working with portfolio teams, we identify exit-ready companies, prepare positioning, and execute sell-side processes that deliver returns to LPs.

02 Sector Expertise

100% AI and technology focused

Dedicated sector knowledge with deep buyer relationships in each domain. Every engagement benefits from our proprietary view of who is acquiring, at what multiples, and why.

03 Our Approach

The exit is won before the process starts

We don't run processes cold. Every engagement begins with deep preparation: stress-testing the story, addressing risks, and building the case that makes a buyer move fast and pay premium.

I

Strategic Positioning

We challenge your thinking and build an equity story that resonates with the 3–5 buyers who will pay premium.

II

Exit Readiness

Stress-test metrics, address DD risks, strengthen governance, 6–12 months before the process begins.

III

Competitive Process

Run a controlled, confidential process that creates genuine competition, leveraging our global buyer relationships.

IV

Close & Protect

Navigate the twists. Protect value through negotiation, diligence management, and closing conditions.

Relationship-based, where it counts

The most valuable buyer conversations don't start with a banker's email. They start with trust. We work relationship-based wherever it makes the difference, opening doors directly to the decision-makers who matter.

AI-accelerated due diligence

We use AI across the process to move at a speed traditional advisors can't match, compressing diligence, surfacing risks early, and keeping momentum high so buyers stay engaged and value is protected.

30–50%of enterprise value is routinely left on the table: started too late, with the wrong story, to the wrong buyer.

Our conviction: The difference between a good exit and a great exit is almost never the process; it's the preparation. We exist to prevent that value from ever leaking away.
