Technology company divestiture advisory

Calsoï supports founders and shareholders of technology companies in preparing and running a divestiture: valuing the technology, structuring the case, and engaging with acquirers who understand the asset.

What we bring

A technology reading of the asset (patents, R&D, teams, innovation trajectory), preparation of the seller's case, and positioning with industrial or financial acquirers.

Why an R&D perspective on a sale

The value of a technology company rests as much on its intellectual property and innovation trajectory as on its numbers. A leader who has run R&D can explain and defend it to acquirers.

Who it is for

Founders and shareholders of technology SMEs and startups, as well as funds preparing the exit of a holding.

Why Jean-Christophe Simon

A rare combination: thirty years leading R&D and hands-on experience of divestiture deals. More about his background.

Frequently asked questions

What is a technology company sell-side mandate?
It is seller-side support for a founder or shareholders who want to sell their company: preparing the case, valuing the technology and patents, and engaging with acquirers.
How is it different from classic M&A advisory?
The angle is technological. Beyond financial and legal aspects, the point is to explain and value the R&D, intellectual property and innovation trajectory, which an R&D leader is equipped to do.
Do you work alone or with other advisers?
Alongside financial and legal advisers, on the technology and strategy side of the deal. Calsoï brings the R&D reading, not the legal structuring.
