Clarity before anything else
Answers to common questions about how we work and what to expect.
Will you sign an NDA?
Yes. Mutual NDA before any commercial work, and portfolio company names are never disclosed. Case studies are anonymised.
What's in scope?
Europe, Seed to Series B, with Series A the sweet spot. Software and marketplaces, typically €1–10M ARR. Not deep tech, biotech, or physical products. And not companies where the founder has already left the building.
Do you take equity?
No - cash, with a success component tied to recovery above your current holding value. In a buyout, the equity is the transaction.
What if the company can't pay?
The dying company never pays. The fee is a line item in the rescue capital, underwritten before work starts. If neither the fund nor a bridge can cover it, that's a verdict rather than a discount — and usually the point where we'd talk about buying the position instead.
What if we've already written it off?
Then it still sits on your books, still takes partner time, and still returns nothing. That's the case where we buy the position outright — cash at close, plus a share of what a later sale produces. You stop carrying it. We take the operating risk from there.
Does the first fee count for anything?
Yes. Diagnostic and triage fees credit in full against a mandate signed within 60 days.
