What Modus Partners does

Modus Partners is a boutique corporate advisory firm headquartered in Singapore with a regional office in Sydney, operating under the legal entity Modus Partners MPI Pte Ltd. It provides three interconnected professional services to founders, company owners, and investors across the Asia-Pacific region: Mergers & Acquisitions Advisory (sell-side trade sales and divestments, buy-side acquisitions, restructuring and mergers, and IPO advisory); Capital Funding (sourcing growth capital from venture capital, venture debt, private equity, and family offices, plus pre-IPO funding, buy-outs, secondaries, and special purpose vehicles); and Strategic Advice (portfolio reviews for investment funds and family offices, due diligence management, valuation, and expert opinion). The firm concentrates on Technology, Media, Sustainability, and Commerce sectors and is a founding member of the Advisiom Global M&A Network, which extends its deal-sourcing reach to Silicon Valley, US East Coast, UK, EU, Nordics, Latin America, and the Middle East.

The firm has no proprietary technology platform; its offering is senior-partner-led human advisory. Two Managing Partners — Michael Gethen (Singapore) and Rob Antulov (Sydney) — lead a bench of Partners and Principals in Singapore, Sydney, and Perth, most of whom combine investment banking credentials with operating experience as entrepreneurs, former CEOs, CFOs, and exited founders. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; advisory fees are structured as retainers, success fees tied to deal completion, or a combination, consistent with standard boutique M&A practice. The firm complements its advisory mandates with two knowledge products: Modus Market Maps (sector research, beginning with an AdTech & MarTech Southeast Asia report profiling 240+ companies) and a downloadable Business Models & Revenue Models Deck. The firm has 1–10 employees and operates as an independent, management-controlled private limited company with no disclosed institutional ownership.

Core offering

Modus Partners is a boutique corporate advisory firm that provides mergers and acquisitions advisory, capital funding, and strategic advice to founders, company owners, and investors. The firm specializes in the Technology, Media, and Sustainability sectors across the Asia-Pacific region, supporting clients on sell-side trade sales, buy-side acquisitions, restructurings, IPOs, growth capital raises, and special project work such as portfolio reviews, due diligence management, and valuation services.

Product overview

Modus Partners is a boutique corporate advisory firm offering a unified suite of professional services rather than a software product platform. The core offering consists of three interconnected advisory services: Mergers & Acquisitions Advisory (M&A transactions, exits, buy-side and sell-side mandates), Capital Funding (growth capital, pre-IPO, buy-outs, SPVs), and Strategic Advice (strategy, governance, due diligence, valuation). These services are complemented by two knowledge products: Modus Market Maps (research reports mapping technology sector ecosystems in Southeast Asia with 240+ companies profiled) and the Business Models & Revenue Models Deck (educational resource on business and revenue model frameworks). The advisory services are the primary revenue-generating offerings, while the research and educational products support the firm's thought leadership and market positioning.
