Built for Buyers Who Acquire at Scale

We work exclusively with professional acquirers who have a clear mandate and the capacity to close.

🏦

Private Equity

Buy-side sourcing for PE firms targeting off-market assets across DACH, Benelux, and the UK.

🏢

From Mandate to Management Meeting

A disciplined, repeatable process that converts your acquisition criteria into qualified conversations with business owners.

01

We Learn Your Mandate

We start with your acquisition criteria: sector, geography, revenue range, EBITDA thresholds. We build a target profile and agree on KPIs before engaging a single prospect.

02

We Pick Up the Phone

We engage business owners exclusively via direct phone calls. No mass email. No LinkedIn automation. Old-school, high-trust outreach, because that's what gets real sellers to the table.

03

We Qualify and Filter

We pre-screen every lead against your criteria. You only see sellers who are genuinely open to a conversation and meet your financial thresholds.

04

You Receive a Full Briefing

Before any meeting, you receive a structured briefing on the target: business overview, financials, owner profile, and context on their motivation to sell.

05

You Take the Management Meeting

You walk in prepared. We've done the groundwork. From here, you run your standard process, we keep the pipeline flowing.

About Kaitsar

International M&A services team with a proven track record across European markets.

Diverse Expertise Across Finance, Technology & Strategy

👤

Nikolai Ferdinand Rutter

Founder

Raised in an Austrian SME family, Nikolai built tech start-ups in the Netherlands before entering a joint venture with a private equity firm. He founded Kaitsar Capital to help solve Europe's business succession challenge — connecting owners ready to exit with the right buyers.

👤

Tina Krell-Sun

Partner / COO

Leaving research in entrepreneurship for hands-on M&A, Tina took an unconventional path into Germany's SME landscape. Through her work on SMEs with the German Ministry of Finance, she recognized succession as a critical bottleneck. Driven by a lack of optionality for business owners, she now initiates off-market connections that would not exist otherwise.
