Right focus

The combined value of CEE start-ups has quadrupled in the last 5 years, and the Tech ecosystem within CEE is considerably maturing. It offers an opportunity to consolidate larger pool of talents and to generate next stellar examples more consistently and frequently.

Right time

The current macroeconomic environment brings challenges to the running of Tech companies. Valuation multiples are decreasing, bringing favourable purchase prices & terms. The time for making acquisitions has just come.

Right team

Not the acquisition, but the active management approach creates real value. Our team was built exactly for this purpose – consisting of people with vast experience from Big-4 consulting firms and top-tier investment companies.
