Frequently Asked Questions
What types of clients does Akos Advisors work with?
We advise founder-led businesses, growth-stage companies, private equity firms, and strategic investors operating at the intersection of healthcare and technology. Our clients range from early-growth companies preparing for their first institutional raise to established businesses planning a full exit or strategic partnership.
What services does Akos provide?
We offer four core advisory services: Mergers & Acquisitions (both buy-side and sell-side), Capital Raising, Transaction Preparation, and Strategic Consulting. Whether you're exploring a sale, seeking growth capital, or need help structuring your business for a future transaction, we tailor our approach to your specific goals and timeline.
Do you focus on specific industries?
Yes. Our primary sector focus is Healthcare Services, Technology, Digital Health, and Professional Services. Our senior team brings over 21 years of average experience in these sectors, which allows us to speak the language of both operators and investors — and position our clients with credibility and precision.
Do you advise on both buy-side and sell-side transactions?
Yes. We work across the full M&A spectrum. On the sell-side, we help founders and owners run competitive processes to maximize value and find the right strategic or financial partner. On the buy-side, we help investors and companies identify, evaluate, and execute acquisitions that align with their growth strategy.
How does Akos differentiate itself from other advisory firms?
We bring a unique blend of investment banking, strategic consulting, and operational experience to every engagement. Unlike larger banks, we offer senior-level attention throughout the entire process — not just at kickoff. Our team's diverse backgrounds as entrepreneurs, analysts, and advisors allow us to approach each deal creatively and with genuine alignment to your goals.
Do you assist with capital raising beyond equity financing?
Yes. While equity raises are a core part of our work, we advise on a range of capital structures including growth equity, venture debt, and structured financing. We help clients determine which type of capital best fits their stage, goals, and risk tolerance — and then connect them with the right investors.
How does the engagement process typically work?
We begin with a discovery conversation to understand your business, goals, and timeline. From there, we develop a tailored advisory plan and engagement structure. Once engaged, we handle everything from positioning and materials development to investor outreach, negotiation, and closing — keeping you informed and in control at every step.
What does "transaction preparation" involve?
Transaction preparation is about making sure your business is ready to go to market and tell a compelling story. This includes financial modeling and quality of earnings analysis, identifying and addressing potential deal risks, building a strong management narrative, and structuring your business to maximize value before a formal process begins.
Where is Akos Advisors located?
We have team members in Los Angeles, Boston, and San Francisco, allowing us to serve clients across the country and work with investors in major financial hubs.
