What Aventis Advisors does

Aventis Advisors is a boutique M&A advisory firm founded in 2015 and headquartered in Warsaw, Poland, with a secondary office in New York. The firm provides sell-side advisory, buy-side advisory, and capital-raising services to technology and tech-enabled business services companies across five specialized verticals: SaaS, AI/ML, IT Services, Software, and TIC (Testing, Inspection & Certification). Its core deliverables include valuation analysis, buyer targeting, due diligence preparation, competitive bidding management, and transaction closing support for founders and institutional investors.

The firm differentiates on data-driven valuation, underpinned by a proprietary SaaS valuation model built on 2,000 private M&A deals, analysis of approximately 10,000 IT Services M&A transactions since 2015, and three proprietary public-market indices: the Aventis SaaS Index (196 constituents), the Aventis IT Services Valuations Index (187 constituents, 6x growth since 2015, 21% CAGR), and the Aventis AI Index (137 AI-exposed constituents, 166% gain November 2022 to June 2025). These indices function as content-marketing assets and valuation benchmarks, supported by a 6,000+ subscriber newsletter, webinars, and a YouTube content channel.

Aventis generates revenue through professional-services fees, primarily success-based fees on closed M&A transactions, with no publicly disclosed pricing. Its go-to-market is consultative and content-led, targeting technology founders preparing to exit and VC/PE investors seeking acquisition targets. Distribution leverages direct advisory relationships, the Globalscope international M&A network partnership for cross-border deal flow, and an inbound content funnel. Notable clients include Visma, Hancom, CKSource (sold to PSG via Tiugo), Apave (acquisition of ISOCERT), and Digital Mind (acquisition of EIP Dynamics), with 20+ closed deals over the firm's history.

Core offering

Aventis Advisors provides M&A advisory services to technology and growth companies, including sell-side advisory (helping founders sell), buy-side advisory (helping investors acquire), and capital raising. The firm focuses on five technology verticals — SaaS, AI/ML, IT Services, Software, and TIC (Testing, Inspection & Certification) — and supplements its advisory work with proprietary valuation indices covering thousands of public and private deals.

Product overview

Aventis Advisors operates as an M&A advisory firm for technology and growth companies, not a software product company. The firm offers a unified service portfolio centered on M&A advisory capabilities (sell-side, buy-side, and capital raising) across five specialized technology sectors: SaaS, AI/ML, IT Services, Software, and TIC (Testing, Inspection & Certification). Complementing its advisory services, the firm produces three proprietary research indices—the Aventis SaaS Index (tracking 196 SaaS companies), the Aventis IT Services Valuations Index (tracking 187 IT services companies), and the Aventis AI Index (tracking 137 AI-exposed companies)—which serve as industry benchmarks and demonstrate the firm's data-driven analytical expertise. The advisory services and research products together form the complete Aventis Advisors offering.
