Experts for private equity companies and medium-sized enterprises

Atheneum is a global tech expert plat­form with >400,000 regis­tered indus­try insi­ders, from specia­li­zed surge­ons to ex-CEOs. We were foun­ded in Berlin in 2010 by former manage­ment consul­tants (ex McKin­sey, L.E.K., Bain) and are now one of the market leaders in this field with 10 offices globally in the USA, Asia and Europe, espe­ci­ally in topics such as SMEs/DACH. Frequent appli­ca­ti­ons for private equity whose advi­sors or venture funds are e.g. expert calls or also a B2B survey for commer­cial due dili­gence or also deal origination.
We can keep you infor­med about the latest deve­lo­p­ments and global trends through our free know­ledge plat­form, which includes expert inter­views, artic­les, case studies, web semi­nars and podcasts.

We are parti­cu­larly active in Healthcare/ MedTech, mid-marke­t/en­gi­nee­ring driven compa­nies and TMT/software, as these have been in parti­cu­larly high demand since our early foun­ding years. In addi­tion, we see very high niche know­ledge demand here, e.g. in the area of appr­oval of new life scien­ces products, which require many expert inter­views. In addi­tion, we are often cont­ac­ted inter­na­tio­nally when it comes to typi­cally local topics such as the expan­sion of fiber optics in Germany and the regu­la­tion of this or the health­care system. In prin­ci­ple, howe­ver, we can provide imme­diate and rapid support in all M&A‑relevant areas, from coffee culti­va­tion in Ecua­dor to poul­try farms in Ukraine.

In Germany, we see strong demand in the typi­cal private equity themes, most recently in 2018/2019 a lot of soft­ware, smart energy devices, healthcare/retirement homes, and clas­sic SME themes.
