Off-Market Deal Flow for Investors

Pre-qualified, owner-managed targets — discreetly initiated, along your investment thesis and long before a process becomes public.

Relevant for

Private Equity

Platform investments, add-on acquisitions, succession solutions and carve-outs — proprietarily sourced.

Strategic Buyers

Corporates and family businesses with a clear bolt-on or growth thesis.

Family Offices

Direct investors focused on owner-managed mid-market companies — without an in-house sourcing function.

Typical Use Cases

Targeted Deal Sourcing

Pre-qualified targets along your investment thesis across the DACH region — precisely matched, not broadly scattered.

Discuss your case

Deal-Team Relief

We take on the research and the initial approach — your team stays free for the transaction.

Discuss your case

Access to Targets

Owner-managed companies — often ahead of a structured sale process.

Discuss your case

Before the Bank Process

Bilateral access to conversations instead of a bidding contest with many parties.

Discuss your case
We open up off-market deal flow in the DACH mid-market and qualify owner-managed targets along your investment thesis — discreet, bilateral and often before a structured sale process has even begun.
