RenovataCribb founders
A founder story built for what's next

Renovata was founded in London. Cribb was founded in Hamburg. Each built a strong reputation in adjacent parts of the same market - Renovata working closely with private equity and its portfolio companies, and Cribb deeply embedded in technology and digital businesses across Germany.

Bringing the firms together was a natural progression. It strengthens our access to investors, deepens our presence in one of Europe’s most important technology markets, and enhances our ability to support clients across the full lifecycle of growth and transformation.

But the logic was never only geographic. Both firms were built around the same idea: that leadership is the decisive factor in moments of growth and transformation - and that belief continues to define how we work.

Today, we operate as a transatlantic platform advising investors, founders, and leadership teams at critical moments of change. Our focus is consistent: identifying and securing the leaders who can deliver what comes next -whether scaling a high-growth asset or transforming an established business.

Boutique by design. Global in reach. Singular in purpose.
