About the collaboration
Stefan Sacher’s insights into the collaboration:
We decided to work closely with Konsultori to implement the sale of our company strategically, and that was the right decision. Petra Wolkenstein guided us through the various phases of the process with her experience, clear structure, and in-depth M&A expertise. Her input helped us prepare important negotiation steps in a targeted manner and sharpen our positioning in line with our strategic goals.
The structured development of a convincing deal framework – including financial data, narrative, and argumentation – as well as the targeted preparation for critical discussions with potential buyers, was particularly valuable. As the founding team, we were able to consistently implement our strategy while benefiting from Konsultori’s sound external perspective and methodological certainty.
Startups that want to approach their exit in a well-founded manner will find Konsultori an excellent choice.
Petra Wolkenstein über die Zusammenarbeit:
The founders of Druckster did an excellent job building and preparing the company for exit. I’m especially pleased to see the business continue and be successfully integrated by the new owners. Congratulations!
