We are an independent corporate finance firm supporting Catalan tech companies, helping founders and shareholders execute strategic M&A, exits, and growth transactions with global investors and buyers.

MISSION

Empowering Barcelona-based tech founders with global M&A expertise

As independent technology M&A advisors, we work closely with tech companies based in Barcelona and across Catalonia, providing strategic and financial guidance throughout their growth journey.

Michael was outstanding throughout our M&A process, planning and executing all aspects at an extremely high level, resulting in many attractive acquisition offers for our company. I would highly recommend Michael to lead any M&A or company sale process.
