NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--D’Ornano + Co., a global consultancy pioneering a new form of advisory to assess the intrinsic value and resilience of high-growth and disruptive assets, today announced its ranking as the number one most active mergers and acquisitions advisor in France, and as a top 21 most active private equity advisor in Europe, according to Pitchbook’s Q2 2023 League Tables.
“2023 has been one of the most challenging deal years since the recession, exacerbating risks and leaving investors with a stronger need for faster insights and more careful analysis. Our success is attributable to our ability to meet this need through the innovative way we assess disruptive companies’ value and resilience via our flagship product, Hybrid Growth Diligence,” said Raphaelle d’Ornano, Founder and Managing Partner. “Pitchbook’s recognition is a testament to our team’s outstanding ability to deliver industry-leading results rapidly, helping investors acquire category-leading assets by uncovering hidden risks and opportunities.”
D’Ornano + Co. launched Hybrid Growth Diligence (HGD) in 2022, marking the creation of a new analysis methodology and industry category. HGD leverages detailed business model analysis to validate both the intrinsic value of the business as well as its resilience. It also identifies and answers the right questions to feed into the financing model – giving the investment team confidence in cash-flow projections and coverage assumptions – ultimately helping investors determine whether to invest.
In the past six months D’Ornano + Co. has advised on several industry-defining deals across Europe and the U.S. for the world’s largest investors. The company is present at all investment stages, from early-stage VC through to IPO, giving the firm a uniquely comprehensive perspective on bleeding edge assets. This advantage allows for superior insight into untested business models’ success trajectory and supports identifying risks faster.
“Our consistent rise through Pitchbook’s league tables underscores the need for a new way of analyzing disruptive technologies and business models. By using a differentiated methodology, we can identify and ask the most important questions of high-growth assets, bridging the gap left by more established legacy transaction advisory services,” d’Ornano added. “We look forward to continuing to set new industry standards.”
