HOW WE ASSIST
Our contribution
Convexa provides entrepreneurs specific competence and experience in building successful technology companies through every step of the value chain.
The ability to assist the companies through all phases becomes more and more important since the lead time from a local start-up to scaling internationally steadily becomes shorter. We have an established network in Scandinavia, Europe and the United States of America.

During the entry phase we have active and intense discussions with management around the proposed business concept, market and distribution strategies and fund raising issues. The entry phase consists of two main activities: (1) Due Diligence; commercial, technical, legal and accounting , (2) Negotiations; valuation, term sheet negotiation and closing documents.
