The challenge
- Following one founding partner's retirement, several succession solutions had to be evaluated. We were requested to provide support in the assessment of these succession options.
- During the open discussion of all possible solutions, our team was responsible to reconcile the interests of all founding partners. Moreover, the team took over a large part of preparing and presenting information since only a selected group of persons from the client-side was involved in the sales process.
The solution
- Identifying critical success factors, also regarding the company's strategic vision.
- Creating a solid forecast for the company in its market.
- Promptly clarifying commercial and financial aspects during the sale preparation.
- Execution of a lender education to identify financing options and purchase price optimization.
- Accompanying parallel negotiations until pre-closing.

As the first German subsidiary, xevIT GmbH fitted perfectly in Conscia's growth strategy that focuses on becoming Europe's largest Cisco service provider.

They perfectly aligned the auction process to the sellers’ needs and provided us with all strategic options until the last day. This enabled us to make the best possible decision.Founder and CEO of xevIT GmbH

M&A Industry Snapshot: The European PropTech and ConTech M&A market
The European PropTech and ConTech M&A market is regaining momentum, but under fundamentally changed dynamics. Capital has become more selective, strategic buyers are increasingly dominating transaction processes, and single-point solutions are losing relevance despite strong growth.This snapshot highlights a clear shift toward scalable SaaS platforms with recurring revenues, deep workflow integration, and strong data foundations. Buy-and-build strategies remain the primary growth lever for investors, while AI-enabled platforms combining operational data and automation capabilities are commanding increasing strategic premiums.As recent transactions such as the Consigli deal demonstrate, valuation is no longer driven by revenue alone, but by a company’s role within future platform ecosystems. As a result, well-positioned platforms benefit from an attractive exit environment, while demand for mid-market add-on acquisitions remains strong.
