Avolta

Avolta is a French technology-focused advisory firm that provides M&A advisory, fundraising advisory, and broader technology advisory to startups, scale-ups, founders, corporate investors, and private equity firms. Its work is centred on transaction support, including buy-side and sell-side mandates, investor outreach, valuation, deal structuring, and cross-border execution, with a particular emphasis on European technology markets and emerging technology themes such as AI and blockchain. The business generates revenue primarily from advisory retainers and success-based fees tied to completed transactions and capital raises. Avolta also operates a proprietary internal transaction intelligence platform that aggregates fundraising and M&A data to support sourcing, analysis, and execution. Alantra acquired a minority stake in 2022 and became the largest individual shareholder, strengthening Avolta’s market positioning without changing its active operating status.
