We are building Perenia to modernise small-cap M&A.
For decades, the SME market has been neglected by traditional financial advisory.
With a legacy model burdened by fixed costs and human labour, the economics for small businesses simply didn't work.
Support has been generally limited and inconsistent, often leaving small business owners on their own to handle such a key moment of their work history.
We believe that the current wave of AI innovation represents an unprecedented opportunity to challenge the status quo.
By using technology to handle tedious work, advisors can finally regain the bandwidth to give small business transfers the attention they deserve.
A founding team dedicated to serve European SMEs
Perenia started as the reunion of two friends who met during their studies and went on to build different yet complementary expertises.
Thomas has a strong background in corporate finance, and a long-standing focus on SME businesses.
Etienne spent his career leveraging data to make startups and scale-ups grow faster.
Both have lived and worked across the Old Continent: France, UK, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg and more.
Together, they are now embracing the wave of AI innovation, on a way to deeply reshape M&A advisory for small businesses across Europe.
