I buy and build profitable service businesses in Europe, then wire AI and systems into them so they scale without drama.
Selling or buying a company isn’t just numbers. It’s identity, timing, family, energy. I pay attention to all of it. I’ve made deals that changed my life and deals that hurt but taught me more than any book ever could. The good ones built momentum. The bad ones built judgement. I use both when I sit down with an owner. I care about what actually works in business right now – the strategies, systems and structures that still hold when the market stops being polite. I’ve seen one thing over and over: if you feed your mind the same ideas as everyone else, you end up living the same life as everyone else. Different inputs, different decisions, different outcomes.
Strategy & life
For owners thinking about an exit
If you’re quietly exploring a sale, you don’t just need a buyer. You need someone who understands what it took to build what you have and who is prepared to treat it with that level of respect.
I’m interested in partnership, not just transactions. Sometimes that means a full exit. Sometimes it means staying involved for a period or co‑creating the next phase together. The structure follows what makes sense for you, your people and the business.
Serious capital, serious experience
Acquisitions at this level don’t happen alone. I work alongside a small group of investors and operators who’ve closed more than 100 M&A transactions across three continents – from mid‑market buyouts to nine‑figure exits.
What I actually look for
I’d rather do a few great deals than a pile of average ones. I’m selective on purpose.

About Aris
Latvian by origin, European by mindset. Nearly two decades in B2B sales, team leadership and business development across technology, services and real estate. I’ve grown teams, managed operations and driven the kind of deals that move a company forward.
Over the last five years, I helped scale a niche Swedish service group into a nationwide business serving clients from around the world, taking it to eight‑figure annual revenue with triple‑digit growth and two competitor acquisitions.
How I Show Up
I don’t buy companies like a fund manager. I buy them like someone who has to make them work.

Partnership mindset
I look for alignment, not quick wins. If we work together, I want you to feel proud of the decision five years from now.

No press releases, no drama. Just serious work handled with discretion.

AI as an edge
text
I use AI like infrastructure, not marketing. Automation that increases margin, clarity and control.
If you’re reading this, you’re probably one of them
Maybe you’re quietly thinking about selling, but don’t want the market – or your team – to know yet. Maybe you’re wondering what your company is really worth to someone who understands how it works. Maybe you just want to talk to a buyer who has carried the weight you’re carrying.
