Fundraising

Professionalize your capital raising for stronger growth

A large number of companies are dependent on external funding during their development and growth phase in order to drive forward commercialisation, expansion and product development as desired.Especially in the early stages of innovative and technology-driven start-ups, scale-ups and SMEs, they are increasingly dependent on private-sector venture capital investors instead of the classic financing options via banks. Fundraising is also very time-consuming, requires a large network and experience in the optimal structuring of a transaction. This is exactly where we come in as a corporate finance partner and accompany you from the preparation of all documents to networking and closing with the most relevant counterparties from venture capital funds, private equity funds, family offices and corporate venture funds on a global basis. We bring you the necessary reach, expertise and speed so that you have the choice and certainty for the best long-term decision.

Dual Process

(Exit/Merger & Fundraising)

Many companies that are in a phase of potential change and entrepreneurial development are unsure about the perfect time to sell the company, to merge or to raise fresh capital and grow organically beforehand. Due to this problem and demand, DIGIALOG and its partners have initiated the Dual Process, in which you get an insight into both possibilities at the current time according to the market situation and interest, and then decide on the next and most suitable step. In this process, the following activities are implemented simultaneously:

Fundraising Process

We prepare the company and the documentation for a capital increase and search for suitable investors for a capital increase to implement further organic growth targets before an official company sale. The most suitable offers / funds are shortlisted for comparison with the offers from the sale/exit and merger process with strategic takeover partners.

Sellside/Merger Process

We prepare the company and the documentation for a sale or merger and search for suitable strategic takeover partners. The most suitable offers are shortlisted for comparison with the offers from the fundraising process via investors/funds.

Comparison and Decision

At the end of the simultaneously executed processes, you are given the opportunity to compare the offers / term sheets from a possible capital increase (fundraising) and those from a possible merger or sale. This allows you to make an independent and fact-based decision that is optimal for your company’s future.

HOW TO REACH US DIRECTLY:

M&A – buy side

Professionalize your inorganic growth and international expansion

Are you at a point with your company where you can only achieve the same growth rate and profit margin as before to a limited extent and are looking for new ways? The acquisition of a direct or indirect market participant could be the solution for further future entrepreneurial development. The advantages of international acquisitions can be, for example, larger market shares, less competition, additional know-how, new innovations that complement your product or service portfolio, access to lucrative customer portfolios with cross- and upside potential, new market developments, process optimisations and higher returns. In short, the goal in strategic M&A is to identify potential synergies that would be difficult to replicate through organic growth. We support you in the international strategic search, identification, analysis and acquisition of potential takeover targets to optimise your corporate development.
