A note from
the founders
Founded in 2025, Obsidian set out to build what the European market was missing: an M&A advisory designed for small- to medium-sized businesses with sales € 1M–200M
For decades, traditional investment banking overlooked smaller transactions. Large teams and slow processes made these transactions uneconomical. Owners were left with unspecialized brokers and outdated workflows. That’s where we step in.
We didn’t just want to make M&A more efficient by building a marketplace or a listing portal. We wanted to provide end-to-end M&A services that combine strategy, technology, and special care for a smooth, unproblematic company sale. Because selling your life’s work is emotional and shouldn’t be treated like any other transaction.
We make it our mission to help smaller businesses find the right successor and provide the optimal future for their employees. Because every transaction changes our lives as much as it does theirs.
Our Principles
Client-First Alignment
Every engagement is structured around the client's timeline, priorities, and definition of success — not ours. We align incentives from day one.
Technology as an Edge
We combine proprietary AI with deep sector knowledge to surface buyers that traditional advisors miss — and to move faster without sacrificing precision.
Discretion & Care
Business sales are deeply personal. We handle every conversation, data point, and relationship with the discretion and care that these moments require.
Built by practitioners, not consultants.
Our team combines hands-on experience from investment banking, private equity, and enterprise technology. We have advised on transactions across Europe and built the proprietary technology stack that powers every engagement — from AI-driven buyer matching to automated data rooms.
