Strategic acquisitions and international partnerships are often the fastest path to global market leadership. At White Star Capital, we don't just facilitate deals—we architect transformative transactions that create lasting competitive advantages.
Orchestrating Market-Defining Mergers
Our most visible M&A success is the TIER Mobility and Dott merger, creating Europe's leading micro-mobility operator with combined revenues of €250 million and over 125 million trips annually across 20+ countries. As active participants in the €60 million equity financing supporting this transaction, we helped structure a deal that consolidated the fragmented European micro-mobility market while positioning the combined entity for profitability.
This wasn't our first transformative M&A with TIER. We previously supported their acquisition of US-based Spin, demonstrating our ability to navigate complex cross-border transactions across regulatory jurisdictions. The successful integration and subsequent strategic repositioning of these assets showcases our operational M&A expertise.

Proven M&A Track Record
Sleek's acquisition of Ltd Companies demonstrates our ability to identify and execute strategic acquisitions that accelerate market entry. This UK acquisition gave Sleek immediate access to a market-leading incorporation platform that had served over 450,000 companies since 2005, instantly establishing credibility and scale in the European market.
The transaction exemplifies our strategic M&A philosophy: acquire market-leading assets with proven business models, integrate cutting-edge technology platforms, and leverage combined capabilities to create differentiated value propositions.
Financial Engineering Excellence
Beyond traditional M&A, we structure innovative financial arrangements that support international growth. Our work with portfolio companies includes:
Advanced Financial Structures
- ABS Facility Structuring: We helped FINN navigate complex asset-backed securities for their mobility platform
- Corporate Debt Optimization: Supporting international expansion through strategic debt facilities
- Multi-Market Regulatory Compliance: Ensuring deal structures meet requirements across jurisdictions
Exit Strategy Optimization
Our M&A expertise extends to exit transactions, where we've guided multiple portfolio companies through successful strategic sales and public offerings. Dialogue's IPO journey from Series A through public markets demonstrates our ability to position companies for optimal exit valuations, ultimately resulting in Sun Life's $277 million CAD acquisition of the public company.
Global Deal Networks
Our international presence provides unparalleled access to strategic acquirers, integration partners, and exit opportunities across markets. With Limited Partners from Canada, France, Germany, Guernsey, Japan, Monaco, Poland, South Korea, the UK and the US, we maintain deep relationships with corporate strategics, sovereign wealth funds, and institutional investors worldwide.
When market consolidation accelerates or strategic opportunities emerge, White Star Capital portfolio companies gain first-mover advantages through our global network and proven M&A execution capabilities. Our track record demonstrates that the right strategic transactions don't just drive growth—they redefine entire market landscapes.
