How we engage

The situations we're built for.

The moments when founders and investors bring in Tyrion Partners — and what we do next.

Capital Raising

Partial commitments, no lead

You hold soft commitments but the round won't close without a credible lead investor. We sharpen the equity story and run a focused, confidential process into our network to secure one and close the round.

M&A & Exits

Ready to sell, in full or in part

Founders or investors want an exit — a minority or majority sale to the right strategic or institutional buyer. We run a discreet sell-side process and negotiate competing interest toward maximum value.

Growth Capital

Scaling, beyond your own network

A proven company needs expansion capital and access to growth funds, private equity and family offices it can't reach alone. We position the raise and open the right doors at senior level.

Secondaries

Liquidity without disruption

Founders and early team want partial liquidity through a secondary while the company keeps building. We match it discreetly with buyers in our network, on clean terms and off-market.

The network

Coverage you can't build alone.

Our network covers 90% of the most active deep-tech investors in Europe, with preferential access to the 50 largest global PE funds — across every stage.
