The Structured Operating System for ETA
akolo connects all ETA intelligence into one validated decision system. Reduce transaction risk and set the standard for succession powered by European knowledge and real-time AI.
of Successions Fail
Business succession is a structural problem in Europe. This failure rate stems from three fundamental deficits that create inefficiency, risk, and fragmentation.
Data Deficit
Mid-market companies are "data-dark," leading to inefficient, risky verification. Advisors waste 60% of time on routine verification. Unstructured data makes due diligence slow and risky.
Lack of Standardization
There is no central, practice-oriented reference base. Searchers and advisors lack a clear roadmap adapted to European SME structures.
Fragmented Processes
Advisors and Searchers struggle with uncoordinated tools. Multiple disconnected systems create coordination challenges. Stakeholders work in silos, reducing transparency and efficiency.
The akolo Solution
The Structured Platform for Search Funds. Structuring the entire M&A process from outreach to deal closing.
