While we have global access, our clients are predominantly based in Europe. Our sweet spot transaction size lies below €100 million. As trusted advisor, WizeCap takes a long-term view. Instead of only focusing on a single transaction, we provide value creation insights and function as a sounding board to our clients helping them make informed strategic decisions, ensure future growth and reach their goals during their entire journey from seed to exit. WizeCap assists companies with the preparation of a strategic transaction by fine-tuning its strategy, its organisation and scaling processes as well as other fundamental building blocks. It is essential to have a comprehensive preparation process with a longer-term view, as it is important to ensure that the quality of the opportunity transcends investors' expectations. We are not a high-volume player and deploy the right team with the right mix of experience to each of our selected projects. We apply the quality and discipline of large transactions to the smaller and underserved segments where each client relationship is unique.

Our passion for technology, market and business expertise, together with our experience-driven approach and international onset are augmented by access to a community of strategic advisors - proven entrepreneurs and best experts in their fields.
