About Us
 
Epidos Consulting AG was founded in 1998 by several German and Swiss partners. From the start Epidos Consulting specialized in advising Founders, Management and Investors of Information Technology (IT), E-/M-Commerce, Life Sciences and Cleantech companies.

Epidos Consulting maintains an international network of relationships with direct access at the highest level to corporations and private / institutional investors in Europe, USA and the Middle East. Therefore, our customers came to expect from us a much higher level of performance, than common with other Private Equity Consultants.

Besides the introduction of investors and /or co-investors we will help you grow your business by finding the right customers, technology partners and sales channels. If the need arises you may also rely on our vast experience in dealing with Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A).

Our international focus is reflected in our many successful M&A projects, all of which in a multinational environment. Besides our own offices in Switzerland and the USA we are represented by partner companies in Germany and Sweden.
