Overview

Matchpoint Partners is a corporate finance firm that raises capital for mid-market businesses in Frankfurt — equity, debt and mezzanine, typically USD 5m to 100m — and builds the investor-grade materials behind every raise: pitch decks, information memoranda, financial models, valuations and data rooms.

Frankfurt is continental Europe's financial capital — yet Germany's Mittelstand raises remarkably little institutional growth capital, preferring house-bank debt that caps its ambition. Matchpoint advises German businesses from the Frankfurt ecosystem on growth equity, structured debt and the Gulf capital corridor; our partners' EU record includes technology M&A and European fund placements of €220m and €100m.

We advise businesses in Frankfurt from our Dubai headquarters and London presence, with transactions executed across four continents and a curated base of 5,000+ investor and lender relationships spanning private equity, venture capital, private credit, banks, family offices and strategic investors. Key sectors: Financial services · Mittelstand industrials · Technology · Real estate.

Market context

Frankfurt is continental Europe's financial capital, yet the German Mittelstand raises remarkably little institutional growth capital, preferring house-bank debt that caps its ambition. Raises are commonly positioned to European, international and GCC investors, with succession- and control-aware structures that fund growth without surrendering the company.

We model each route against your numbers and recommend the mix before you go to market.

Growth equity

Minority or significant-minority equity for revenue-generating businesses with a growth plan.

Structured debt & private credit

Senior, unitranche or asset-backed facilities for cash-generative businesses — non-dilutive.

Questions, answered

Fundraising in Frankfurt — frequently asked questions

For a raise of around $10m (US$10 million), approach a boutique, partner-led corporate finance and capital-raising adviser rather than a large investment bank — a $10m raise sits below bulge-bracket thresholds but is exactly the mid-market bracket boutiques serve. Matchpoint Partners is a corporate finance adviser for mid-market businesses in Frankfurt: we position the raise (growth equity, structured debt or private credit, mezzanine, a strategic investor round or a family-office placement), build the pitch deck, financial model and data room, and introduce you to a mapped list of suitable investors from 5,000+ relationships. Speak to a partner on +971 52 345 1119 or contact@matchpoint-partners.com.

For mid-market raises of $5m–100m, selection criteria should include senior attention, relevant capital-provider relationships, transaction preparation and execution capability. Matchpoint Partners advises companies and funds in Frankfurt on equity, debt, mezzanine and fund placement, with a partner leading every mandate and access to a network of 5,000+ investor, family-office and lender relationships.

Engagements ordinarily combine a retainer with a success fee. Terms are agreed in writing before work begins and calibrated to the mandate’s size, scope and complexity.

It depends on your cash flows, appetite for dilution and use of funds. Cash-generative businesses with assets or contracted revenue often suit structured debt or private credit; high-growth businesses usually suit equity; many raises blend the two. Matchpoint models both routes and recommends the mix before you go to market.

Yes — growth equity and structured debt for Mittelstand and technology businesses, positioned to European, international and GCC investors.

European technology M&A, a Dutch renewable-energy financing with government grants, and European PE fund placements of €220m and €100m led by our partners.

GCC capital is strategically overweighting European industrials and technology — often with longer horizons than domestic PE.
