We get you to the software companies you want to acquire.

Originatio is a buy-side origination boutique for serial acquirers, private equity and corporates. Bring us your target list or let us build one; we reach the owners, hold the first conversation and hand over the companies ready to talk. We guarantee contact with at least 90% of the companies on an agreed list.

What we do

Reach, guaranteed

The hard part of buy-side M&A is not knowing which companies to buy. It is getting the owner on the phone. Our value is access: relationships with some 700 software and IT companies across Central Europe and India, and a method for reaching the ones we do not yet know.

Option one

You bring the list

You know the 30, 50 or 200 companies you want. We reach their owners, qualify interest and bring you the conversations. Nothing else changes in your process.

Option two

We build the list

You give us the thesis: sector, size, geography, ownership. We map the universe, agree the list with you, then go and reach it.

90%

Contact guarantee. On an agreed target list we guarantee a conversation with the owner or a decision-maker at no fewer than nine companies in ten. Not a sent email: a conversation. If we fall short, the retainer for that period is reduced accordingly.

Services

Three ways to engage

The best acquisitions rarely come from auctions. They come from a conversation with an owner who was not yet selling. Finding and holding those conversations, consistently and in volume, is what Originatio is retained to do.

Retained origination

An ongoing mandate to source acquisition targets in a defined region or vertical. Criteria agreed in writing, a target universe mapped and maintained, owners approached and qualified, monthly reporting. Minimum six months. One client per thesis per region.

Market mapping

A fixed-scope study of a sector or geography before you commit to it: the long list, a profiled short list, the consolidators already active, and a recommended sequence of approach. Four to six weeks.

Targeted approach

A short, intensive programme to reach a defined set of owners on your behalf, hold structured first conversations and assess readiness to transact. For buyers who know what they want and need the door opened.

Approach

How a mandate runs

The method is the one used inside the most disciplined serial acquirers in software, applied on your behalf. It is deliberately unglamorous: a clear thesis, a live database, direct conversations and honest qualification.

Thesis

Your investment criteria, written down and agreed: sector, size, business model, ownership, geography, price discipline.

Universe

Every company that fits, mapped from registries, advisors, conferences and our own network, and kept current for the life of the mandate.

Dialogue

Owners reached directly and in their own language, at no fewer than nine in ten companies on the list. Motivation, timing, financials and expectations qualified before you spend a minute.

Introduction

Warm handover of companies ready for a first meeting, with notes. Your team takes it from there; we stay in the background.

Focus

Where we are useful
