From founders, for founders. We connect entrepreneurs and owners with the people who shape markets across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Central Asia.
What We Do
01
We identify and pursue real business development opportunities across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Central Asia. Our value is access to markets and partners that are simply not reachable through the usual routes — at the level where decisions are actually made.
02
We connect founders and owners directly with other entrepreneurs, political figures, and leading private equity and venture capital funds. These are genuine relationships, built over years, at the very highest levels.
03
We support go-to-market strategy and market entry from the ground up: on-the-ground knowledge, navigating local regulations, and finding the right partners. This comes from decades of being present in the regions we work in, not from a desk.
04
We take on board and non-executive director (NED) mandates, bringing an independent perspective, cross-regional experience, and a network that genuinely moves things forward at the governance level. We also advise on board composition and NED selection.
05
We carry senior sales mandates and provide strategic advisory on expansion, positioning, and stakeholder relationships. We work quietly, take a long view, and operate only where we can make a real difference.
Geographic Coverage
Go-to-market strategy, market entry advisory, NED placements and business development mandates across four distinct geographies.
Go-to-Market & Board Advisory
Our home base. We support market entry into Europe for international firms and help European companies expand outward. From regulatory navigation in Brussels to board representation in Vienna, Frankfurt and Warsaw, we work where the decisions are made.
Market Entry & NED Placements
EMEA is not one market — it is fifty. We have spent years building the relationships that make market entry here possible. Non-executive director placements, business development mandates and sales introductions across the region, done through trust, not cold outreach.
Market Entry & Business Development
Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Azerbaijan are repositioning fast. Western firms are still treating these as frontier markets. We have been present long enough to know who matters. Market entry here requires existing relationships — we have them.
Business Development & Sales Mandates
Eastern Africa is where the next decade of growth is being written. Nairobi, Addis Ababa and Kigali are drawing serious capital and serious operators. We support market entry, business development mandates and senior introductions for those arriving with intent.
"Europe. EMEA. Central Asia. Eastern Africa. Four regions, one standard of access."
Market Entry AdvisoryWho We Are
We work primarily with founders and owners, connecting them with other entrepreneurs and principals who share the same long-term outlook. These are not institutional handshakes. They are relationships between people who have built something and understand what that means.
We also connect our partners with political figures: ministers, senior officials, and advisors who shape the regulatory and policy environments that determine what is possible in a given market.
On the capital side, we work with private equity funds and, selectively, venture capital, bringing them opportunities and counterparts that are not available through the usual channels.
Our founders arrived in Vienna in the 1990s, at the moment Central Europe was reopening to the world. Over the following decades, that work extended east into Central Asia, south into Africa, and across the Gulf.
Vienna was not chosen by accident. For centuries it has served as the continent's great meeting point, the city where East meets West, where empires negotiated, and where the world's most important conversations have taken place quietly, away from public view. That tradition of discreet, cross-cultural exchange is why our counterparts trust us.
Today, analysis, research, and execution can all be automated. What cannot be automated is trust: the phone call that gets answered, the door that opens, the room you are already in when the decision is made. That is what three decades have built.
"We do not open doors for clients. We walk through them together."
"We do not claim to be everywhere. We go deep where we have earned the right to operate."
"When everything else can be replicated, trust is the one thing that cannot."
Founder

He advises founders, principals, and senior executives on go-to-market strategy, NED placements, and high-level sales mandates. His work is built on a single principle: the right introduction, to the right person, at the right moment.
