About Us
Independent investment banking boutique Advantage Capital Partners builds on the legacy of the national investment promotion initiative, #AdvantageUkraine, launched by President Zelensky at the 2022 Lugano Recovery Conference in response to Russia’s unprovoked full-scale invasion.
After over three years of close collaboration with Ukrainian authorities, the local business community, and global institutions—including BlackRock, McKinsey, and leading IFIs—we have transformed our platform into a transaction-focused investment banking boutique.
Backed by over 20 years of local expertise, deep institutional relationships, and exclusive access to vetted opportunities, we have curated a proprietary pipeline of M&A, joint venture, and capital-raising projects. Our focus is on unlocking value from Ukraine’s post-war recovery and imminent EU integration, positioning global investors at the forefront of one of Europe’s most compelling reconstruction stories.
Our Services
We provide bespoke, end-to-end financial solutions tailored to clients navigating Ukraine’s dynamic post-war recovery and pre-accession trajectory to the European Union.
With a sector-agnostic mindset and deep local market knowledge, we offer hands-on execution across the full spectrum of investment banking services:
M&A Buy- side & Sell-side Advisory
We provide comprehensive M&A advisory services for both buy-side and sell-side mandates — supporting clients from target identification to transaction structuring, due diligence, and deal execution
Debt & Equity Capital Raising
We support Ukrainian businesses in raising both debt and equity capital from international and local capital providers, including IFIs, commercial lenders, and private equity funds
Joint Ventures
Leveraging our trusted local network and on-the-ground presence, we advise international strategic and portfolio investors on establishing joint ventures and strategic partnerships with prominent Ukrainian sponsors
Ukrainian Deal Book
Advantage Capital Partners, in cooperation with consultancy DataDriven, is pleased to present the inaugural edition of the Ukrainian Deal Book (UDB). This publication outlines a curated selection of actionable M&A and joint venture (JV) opportunities across key sectors of Ukraine’s economy
It is designed to serve international strategic and portfolio investors seeking to capitalize on Ukraine’s post-war reconstruction in the wake of imminent EU-27 integration.
In contrast to concept-stage pipelines frequently showcased at reconstruction-themed investment forums, the UDB intentionally excludes early-phase greenfield or brownfield ventures lacking sponsor's committed capital or operational expertise. Instead, it focuses exclusively on established, cash-flow-generating businesses and investment-ready JV projects sponsored by credible Ukrainian stakeholders with a demonstrated commitment to co-investment and a proven track record.
