About Us
With €3.4Bn+ in transaction volume from over 380 successfully closed deals, our team brings a century of combined transactional experience, with a strong focus on tech, M&A, private equity, and growth capital. Leveraging our deep regional market knowledge, extensive network, data-driven approach, and industry insights (with a fresh perspective on market trends), we provide the strategic edge to elevate our clients’ success.
We understand what it takes to build a business - we’ve been there too. And we know how invaluable it is to have an experienced partner who not only recognizes the challenges and pitfalls but also knows how to navigate and overcome them. Our brand, Absolvo, reflects our commitment to helping you (ab)solve challenges and secure the best possible deals.
Beyond advisory, better deals delivered.
Sell-side
M&A Advisory
There are various reasons to consider selling your high-growth scaleup or startup. We help you assess the key indicators that will influence your outcome and evaluate whether it's the right time to move forward.
Buy-side
M&A advisory
We help you achieve your growth objectives in the Central Eastern European region by identifying and engaging with the right acquisition targets, ensuring a successful, value-enhancing transaction.
Growth Financing
Advisory
When you feel it’s time to scale, we help you secure the right financing from venture capital, private equity, or multi-stage funding (Series A, B, C). By focusing on your unique needs, we ensure that your growth strategy is built on a strong foundation, positioning you for sustainable success.

Absolvo combines global reach with
deep regional ties.
When it comes to finding the perfect match for your transaction, geography is no barrier. But if you want to find the hidden gems or close the best deal possible, you need to have a local guide. Whether you’re looking to connect with a few pre-selected or a wide pool of targets or investors, our embeddedness into the CEE ecosystem opens doors, extending your reach through personal introductions.
At Absolvo, we leverage a large network of investors, built through years of collaboration. We partner with 200+ experts from 65+ offices worldwide. By continuously pitching them opportunities, negotiating deals, discussing trends, sharing exclusive insights, aligning on priorities, and maintaining active dialogue, we deeply understand investor preferences and can master effective deal strategies.
Beyond the negotiation table, we are also regular attendees and invited speakers of CEE’s largest tech and investment-related events, trusted mentors for startup and scaleup founders, market specialists providing insights for members of the ecosystems, thus creating relationships that that we can leverage to support the ambitions of our clients.

Why Absolvo Stands Out?
We talk to investors every day.
We engage with them at least 40-times per week to be exact. This involves pitching, negotiating deals, discussing trends, providing regular updates, actively listening, and addressing their key priorities.
Additionally, they also share with us some key insights into their motivations, strategic way of thinking or other ‘behind the scenes’ information
Investors are not just inboxes for outreach. We are sitting at the (right) tables either beside or across. Therefore, we understand investor preferences and the right strategy to successfully close deals with them.
Negotiation tables are just the beginning. We are often invited by investors to speak at their events, attend as VIP guests, and facilitate workshops. In return, they seek our market insights and look forward to attending the events we organize.
Your success is our business.
We understand the path that led to us, because we’ve been there too, building a business ourselves, some of us several times.
We’re in a people-driven business, built on personal trust. Therefore we always dedicate targeted attention and senior overlook to each and every deal.
The importance of being in the right hands is crucial, knowing that the pitfalls and challenges you face are real but can be overcome.
Absolvo stands for our drive to help you (ab)solve challenges and make the best deals possible.
We've got a century of combined experience, plus a fresh take on recent trends.
Our colleagues have worked for and also within industries for extended periods as C-level executives and/or entrepreneurs, thus gaining real industry expertise.
We have colleagues who bring in the investor perspective (having worked at private equity firms or strategic investors) and best practices of Big4 companies.
We also provide strategic advisory know-how, including hands-on sales and marketing knowledge, gained through experience on the execution side.
The numbers prove our capabilities: we’ve collaboratively done more than €3.4 Bn in transaction volume and 380+transactions.
Unlike many advisory firms, we always dedicate the senior attention that your deal deserves from start to finish and we never use one-size-fits-all models.
We love and live Tech.
Absolvo has completed the most tech deals in the CEE region, leveraging our team members' years of experience in tech companies and our constant engagement with sector-focused investors.
This unique combination equips us with deep insights into how your tech business operates, the challenges it faces, and the latest valuation trends.
When it comes to our projects and deal-making, we also apply a different approach than traditional invetment bankers: we dig into data, trends, and benchmarks to shape deal strategies, crafting business plans and materials that are built on solid insights.
The world is changing fast and Absolvo adapts technology and different methods to align with your needs today and prepare for future opportunities.
