M&A advisory for mobility companies

Mobility M&A has been through a brutal correction. The 2018-2021 era of pricing growth-at-any-cost is over, and buyers now demand evidence of per-trip contribution, city-level cohort retention, driver and rider economics and a credible path to operating profit. The good news is that consolidation is finally happening - and the strategic and PE buyers active in mobility are paying real multiples again for businesses with proven unit economics.

The buyer pool is well-defined. Strategics like Uber, DoorDash, Just Eat Takeaway, Bolt, FREENOW and the OEMs / Tier-1s buying mobility software make up most of the action; PE platforms (KKR, EQT, Apollo, BlackRock infrastructure) underwrite shared-mobility and logistics on cash conversion and capex efficiency. EV charging and logistics tech increasingly attract infrastructure capital, which prices on long-duration cash flow and changes the conversation entirely.

Our team worked on some of the defining European mobility deals - including the Series C for Miles and the acquisition of 10bis - and runs M&A processes that match the asset to the right strategic or financial buyer.

M&A goes smoother with an advisor that understands mobility

Choose the right M&A advisor who confidently takes you through the (very stressful!) company sale process.

Per-trip contribution as the centrepiece

Mobility deals close on per-trip contribution and city-level cohort behaviour - not headline GMV or trip volume. We rebuild the unit economics the way Uber, Bolt and the mobility PE bench actually underwrite, so the equity story holds up when the buyer's deal team replicates the model.

Strategic and infra buyer access

Mobility exits run through Uber, DoorDash, Just Eat Takeaway, Bolt, FREENOW, the OEMs and the mobility PE platforms (KKR, EQT, Apollo). We've been in the middle of category-defining European deals, including Miles and 10bis, and know exactly which corporate development team is buying at your scale.

Marketplace liquidity, properly evidenced

Driver/rider supply-demand balance and city-level density are what differentiates a defensible network from a subsidy machine. We frame the marketplace metrics around what buyers actually pay for - retention, organic mix, cross-side network effects - rather than pitching aggregate growth that diligence immediately discounts.

Capex and asset structure

EV fleets, charging assets and logistics hardware change the buyer pool from tech strategics to infrastructure capital - and the multiple framework changes with it. We structure asset ownership, OpCo / PropCo splits and capex disclosure to attract the buyer set that pays the most for the actual assets.

Recent M&A deals we closed

We've closed sell-side and buy-side transactions across European, US and emerging-market tech.

Our M&A track record spans strategic exits to corporate acquirers, PE buyouts, and cross-border deals where regulatory and structuring complexity actually matters.
