With more than 30 deals closed in 3 years, Avolta Partners has turned out to be one of the most active M&A
boutique in Europe in the Tech Industry. As a result, our team of 11 people has learned how to maximize the value
of a deal – both valuation and legal conditions – thanks to a proven methodology and hard-nosed negotiations.
As any digital-native company, we have been international-oriented since the very first day. We now count about
500 professional investors worldwide in our close network (150 in France and the rest abroad). Every client is
unique: our wide network assures them to match with the best partner.
Time is the most precious asset and the more our client stays focused on his business, the more value he will
generate. Yet, fundraising is a dreadfully time-consuming activity. Backed by our 30 deals experience and proven
methodology, we assure our clients the smoothest impact on their usual business during the fundraising process.
We are passionate about technology. Our expertise in this industry (AdTech, CleanTech, FinTech, IoT, Media,
Business Services, Consumer Services) combined with our experiences as entrepreneurs makes us stand out in
the ecosystem.
