The Turnaround That Became a Rebirth
This case study demonstrates our core philosophy: we are operators first. Our greatest successes are not always the deals that are done, but the long-term value we create for the founders we partner with.
Our action
To prove our conviction, we put our money where our mouth is. We went beyond advisory and embedded ourselves in key operational roles to execute a complete business transformation. Our hands-on work included:
Restructuring core operations for greater efficiency and scalability.
Leading a complete marketing and branding refresh to better communicate the company's value.
Strengthening partnerships with key strategic players in the ecosystem.
Introducing institutional-grade IFRS financial reporting to prepare the company for diligence.
Engaging strategic and financial investors with an extensive, targeted marketing campaign.
The result
Within 18 months, our hands-on operational work led to a formal investment offer at a valuation of €130 million—a more than 5x increase from the founder's original asking price.
Seeing his company completely reinvigorated and its true potential unlocked, the founder chose not to sell.
He continues to lead the thriving business to great success today.
Sometimes, the deals that are not done are the best result of our work. This outcome embodies our ultimate goal: preserving and creating long-term, sustainable value for founders and their teams.
