Cross-Border M&A: We Combine Global Reach with Local Expertise.

Given the global nature of the technology sector, M&A processes are inherently international in scope. We provide our clients access to this broad international buyer universe and open up significant strategic options, while also managing the associated execution complexity on their behalf. For this reason, ARTHOS is a member of the Alliance of International Corporate Advisors (AICA) and engages local M&A partners as needed to optimise the chances of success.

Confidential initial call

ARTHOS is an M&A boutique that advises exclusively growth companies and strategic investors across the tech sectors. Typical mandates range in enterprise value from approximately 10 to 250 million euros. The firm’s offering includes sell-side and buy-side mandates for tech companies and their decision-makers – particularly transactions with more complex requirements.

Whether our expertise offers added value for you and your company, or for your acquisition, can usually be quickly assessed during an initial confidential discussion.
Schedule a confidential meeting

ARTHOS possesses in-depth M&A industry knowledge in challenging tech sectors, including digital services, software (SaaS), sensor technology & automation, semiconductors and photonics.

We understand the key factors for M&A success, business models and strategic value drivers in these sectors, and can translate them into a robust equity story and a precise approach to buyers and targets. We are familiar with the relevant decision-makers through our long-standing engagement with them; this facilitates targeted outreach and speeds up coordination throughout the process. These insights inform positioning, process management and negotiations, typically increasing deal certainty and transaction terms.

We would be happy to explore with you how your business model can be positioned within the relevant buyer or investor landscape.
Schedule a confidential meeting

ARTHOS Managing Partners have a track record of over 200 completed tech transactions and operate with a strong focus on closing deals. Our success rate is well above market average because we tailor the equity story, process design and buyer or seller outreach individually to each mandate, with our managing partners personally driving the M&A process and its many stakeholders through to successful completion.

If you are considering a strategic transaction where execution certainty is paramount, we would welcome the opportunity to discuss potential approaches with you.
Discuss your transaction confidentially

ARTHOS specialises in strategic M&A transactions in high-growth technology sectors. As managing partners, we personally oversee the entire M&A process and always operate on an international scale in our projects. Because we specialise in these types of M&A transactions, we have more experience in this field than other advisory firms and are therefore more successful in the deal execution.

If you are considering a tech M&A transaction, we would be pleased to discuss with you how we may be able to support you in a meaningful and value-enhancing way.
