Hi there 👋
We are Helen Ginter and Alex Prokofjev - founders of RollUpEurope. Also, we are husband and wife.
We are consummate dealmakers, combining M&A (Investment Banking, Buy & Build) and legal / regulatory backgrounds.
We ❤️ serial acquirers, M&A, and networking.
The idea for RollUpEurope was born out of our frustration with the lack of a community for serial acquirers.
This is despite the fact that we are witnessing an astonishing flow of capital and brains into the lower mid-market ecosystem. We believe that North America and Europe are in the early innings of a massive up-cycle. Thousands of new platforms are being born every year. Independent Sponsors, search funds, bootstrapped consolidators, old-school businesses seeking reinvention, PE-backed platforms. Fuelling this bonanza are LPs frustrated with lacklustre returns in mid- and large-cap PE.
For sure, micro-cap rollups are tough. Sourcing is tough. Fundraising is tough. Integrating acquisitions and building coherent, scalable organisations is probably the toughest gig of them all. Our mission therefore is to unbottle the knowledge held by the community, to help you find the answers.
We do this by publishing content on our social media; by hosting in-person networking events and workshops; and by connecting ideas and capital.
Join us to network, acquire, and make money!
Helen and Alex
