Bring founder relationships, succession situations and acquisition opportunities to a curated desk. Establish mandate, fit and intent before introductions.
THE RIGHT STARTING POINTDEALDESK BY 0–8 CAPITAL
Good deals need
the right people.
From the first introduction to the first 100 days.
One desk for opportunity, capital and execution.
SELECTIVE MEMBERSHIP. SHARED COMMITMENT.Four ways to contribute
01 / THE PERSPECTIVE
Think like a founder.
Underwrite like an investor.
A transaction is the beginning of the next chapter of a business.
For founders and owners, the right deal protects what has been built and creates room for what comes next. Succession, a growth partner or a considered exit starts with understanding the business and its people.
For acquirers and investors, conviction needs evidence: commercial quality, cash flow, downside risk and a credible route to value creation. DealDesk brings these perspectives together early.
0–8 Capital is the orchestration layer. We coordinate introductions, initial assessment, specialist input, financing conversations and the operating team around a shared transaction thesis.
02 / FROM OPPORTUNITY TO OWNERSHIP
Five stages.
One connected process.
Assess
Initial due diligence and red-flag screening across commercial, financial, legal and operational questions. Surface evidence gaps and route deeper diligence to specialists.
EARLY CLARITY ON RISKStructure
Align owner and investor objectives around a transaction thesis. Map ownership, incentives and a value-creation plan, including digitalization, automation and better operating data.
A THESIS THAT CAN BE EXECUTEDFinance
Explore equity partners, acquisition debt, seller financing and blended structures. Match the capital pathway to business cash flow, risk and transaction needs.
CAPITAL THAT FITS THE BUSINESSOperate
Form the operator and post-merger integration (PMI) team before close. Define leadership, workstreams and the first 100 days so execution starts with ownership.
THE TEAM BEFORE THE CLOSEInitial screening informs the next decision; it does not replace full due diligence. Transactions and financing remain subject to independent assessment and agreement.
03 / THE PEOPLE AROUND THE DESK
Different strengths.
Shared ambition.
Premium membership for people who bring something to the transaction: access, acquisition intent, capital or the expertise to make it work.

04 / EARNED DEFERRAL
Commit first.
Then share the momentum risk.
Premium from day one.
Risk-sharing after commitment.
Building a valuable network takes commitment on both sides. Earned Deferral is designed to give established members breathing room while the right transaction develops.
Three consecutive paid months
Pay your membership normally to qualify: €7,500 for a Partner seat or €750 for a Deal Professional over the first three months.
Continue paying, or request deferral
Eligible members can request a limited deferral period. Approved monthly fees accrue to a deferred membership balance; they are not waived.
Settle at the transaction event
The balance becomes payable at the DealDesk transaction event defined in the agreement. Settlement is required before further transaction access; unpaid balances pause subsequent deal flow.
Proposed commercial terms & contractual uplift +
The v0.1 model contemplates a 12% per annum contractual uplift on the deferred balance, subject to final legal wording and legal/tax review before launch. The agreement will specify eligibility, the deferral period and cap, calculation method, transaction-event trigger, payment timing and treatment on cancellation or if no transaction occurs. This page describes the proposed concept and does not activate a deferral arrangement.
