I help business leaders to reach more scale and realize lucrative exits faster.

Lukas Hertig

Hi, my name is Lukas Hertig. With over 20 years in the international software and technology industry, I have helped scaling businesses from the ground up to from zero to up to 240 million in revenue. Both organic and through many acquisitions. I specialize in leadership, go to market, product, strategy and mergers and acquisitions (M&A), and I leverage a vast global network of investors and experts in combination with technology and AI to and growth hacking to drive growth.

Many years ago, I originally studied business information systems. Later I never stopped learning and studying advanced growth strategies for digital businesses, got certified in financial modeling and valuation at the corporate finance institute and worked with many mentors and coaches in the mergers & acquisitions over more than 5 years. I’m an active startup coach and angel investor and an advisor.

I’m based in Switzerland and active mostly across Europe. I focus on buying, transforming and scaling small and medium sized businesses between 1 and 10M revenue in software, technology, education, and other sectors.
