Daniel Farmache, CFA

We are a boutique M&A, investment development and consulting services firm serving financial sponsors and ambitious entrepreneurial companies. Our team has a unique combination of best-in-class finance experience and CEO-level executive experience in corporates and large entrepreneurial companies. Our differentiator is our deep, hands-on understanding of both professional investors and entrepreneurs. We not only act as sell-side and buy-side M&A and corporate finance advisors. We work with entrepreneurial companies to create the long term strategy and investment thesis that maximizes the company's growth potential and makes it attractive to investors. We do this from a place of intimate understanding of the entrepreneurial mindset. We work with investors, from financial sponsors to strategics, to create bespoke investment platforms that are otherwise not accessible to the market. Selectively, we also invest ourselves to validate the investment thesis and help create validated and de-risked investments for larger institutional investors. Our clients are cross-industry, spanning energy, finance, FMCG, industrial production, healthcare, construction and logistics.
