Advising category-defining AI companies on their exits
July100.AI is Europe's first AI-dedicated sell-side M&A advisory, built only for AI and deep-tech founders. We sit on both sides of the table, so your exit never leaves value behind.
- A founder who has returned capital to investors 14 times, across an IPO and multiple strategic exits.
- A CVC leader who knows every strategic buyer and every tech investor.
Sell-side M&A advisory, executed exceptionally
One focus, done at the highest level. We go deep on AI and deep tech rather than spreading across a dozen sectors, because specialist insight and real buyer relationships are what decide an AI exit. Our strategic capital practice supports the mission.
Sell-Side M&A Advisory
Strategic exit advisory for AI, deep tech, and platform companies. We prepare the equity story, stress-test DD readiness, run competitive processes, and connect founders with the acquirers who pay premium. We focus on transactions above $200M total enterprise value (TEV), where AI sector expertise and deep buyer relationships decide the outcome.
Invest & Co-Invest
For select companies, we invest directly and co-invest alongside our network. Our capital comes with operator support: GTM, international expansion (EU, US, MENA, Africa), and board-level guidance. We back companies we believe in, and when the time comes, we advise on the exit.
Portfolio Liquidity for Funds
We partner with VC and growth equity funds to systematically drive portfolio exits. Working with portfolio teams, we identify exit-ready companies, prepare positioning, and execute sell-side processes that deliver returns to LPs.
100% AI and technology focused
Dedicated sector knowledge with deep buyer relationships in each domain. Every engagement benefits from our proprietary view of who is acquiring, at what multiples, and why.
The exit is won before the process starts
We don't run processes cold. Every engagement begins with deep preparation: stress-testing the story, addressing risks, and building the case that makes a buyer move fast and pay premium.
Strategic Positioning
We challenge your thinking and build an equity story that resonates with multiple buyers who will pay premium.
Exit Readiness
Stress-test metrics, address DD risks, strengthen governance, 6–12 months before the process begins.
Competitive Process
Run a controlled, confidential process that creates genuine competition, leveraging our global buyer relationships.
Close & Protect
Navigate the twists. Protect value through negotiation, diligence management, and closing conditions.
Relationship-based, where it counts
The most valuable buyer conversations don't start with a banker's email. They start with trust. We work relationship-based wherever it makes the difference, opening doors directly to the decision-makers who matter.
AI-accelerated due diligence
We use AI across the process to move at a speed traditional advisors can't match, compressing diligence, surfacing risks early, and keeping momentum high so buyers stay engaged and value is protected.
Our conviction: The difference between a good exit and a great exit is almost never the process; it's the preparation. We exist to prevent that value from ever leaking away.

Operator experience first, institutional execution second, and the conviction that the best exits are earned long before the first buyer meeting.

The best conversations begin with an introduction.
We work by relationship and introduction, not by funnel. Our strongest mandates reach us through a trusted referral or a direct note to one of the partners. We take on only a handful of companies at a time. If an exit is on your mind, reach out in confidence; every conversation is private and obligation-free.
