ABOUT US
WE ARE THRILLED TO ACCOMPANY OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT IN THESE IMPORTANT BUSINESS
LIFE STEPS, TO HELP BRING THE TRANSACTION SUCCESSFULLY ACROSS THE FINISHING LINE
PROGRESSYV is an independent M&A (Mergers & Acquisitions) and Corporate Finance advisory firm with a focus on family/owner-managed small- and medium-sized companies as well as high-growth scaleups with disruptive business models/technologies across various industries.
OUR COMPETENCE
We are a trusted partner to entrepreneurs, families and scaleups that understand their challenges. These challenges could include troubles in giving up the own “baby” and finding the right “new home” for it, diverging shareholders interests and objectives, capacity restraints from running the operating business, limited or no M&A/fundraising expertise as well as pressure from non-operating shareholders to deliver.
Based on our profound experience, we know that these topics need to be addressed upfront in a PERSONAL and CUSTOMIZED manner to prevent unexpected negative surprises during a process.
At the same time, we put more than a decade of transaction execution expertise from leading global M&A boutiques at your service and know that processes need to be run in a PROFESSIONAL and EFFICIENT way to bring them successfully across the finishing line.
We are able to thoroughly prepare your company to generate investor/buyer appetite, professionally manage the complex, time-consuming processes from A to Z, create competitive dynamics among multiple parties and provide you with a realistic, unbiased 3rd party view as well as different options out of which you, as shareholders, can choose.
By bringing these capabilities together,
we create value and accomplish the most favourable transaction outcome for you.

CAREER
BECOME PART OF THE TEAM AS INTERN OR WORKING STUDENT
We are growing with many exciting national and international M&A and fundraising projects across various industries. Therefore, we are continuously looking for motivated, team-oriented personalities from top-ranked universities with first M&A experience, who are keen to support us as Interns or Working Students.
Although we have high expectations of our team members, it is equally important to us to maintain a good work-life balance without a "facetime culture", a modern working model (home office partly possible) and a steep learning curve. In addition to a great team culture and an attractive office location in the heart of Zurich (Seefeld), we offer a working atmosphere characterized by respect and helpfulness, an open exchange with the Managing Director and continuous feedback discussions.
