About Aegryn

02

Five ways of working.
One firm.

We are neither a classic firm, nor a tech agency, nor an M&A boutique. We are an integrated firm, rooted in Switzerland, bringing together five ways of working in service of lasting organisational value: framing, delivering, accompanying every life cycle, selecting talent and keeping you informed on the market.

The Aegryn Model

Five ways of working that reinforce one another. That is what very few players can genuinely offer.

01

FRAME

Strategy, risk, finance, technology, operations, talent, M&A: we help executives and decision-makers choose on quantified, documented grounds, with a single point of contact.

02

DELIVER

Project and programme management, from governance to acceptance. We coordinate the specialist experts of the network, named and accountable for their scope: you keep a single point of contact.

03

ACCOMPANY

The five life cycles of a company: launch, growth, restructuring, acquisition, succession. A diagnostic, a plan, then support suited to your situation, through to results.

04

SELECT

Selection of executives and experts, transition assignments. Without the right people, strategy stays a plan.

05

STAY INFORMED

Quarterly magazine, articles and market intelligence. We document what we observe and what we experience every day.

OUR CLIENTS

We support companies at every stage.

Startup & Scale-up — équipe tech en open-space

Startups & scale-ups

Lay the right strategic and technology foundations, frame the next cycle and prepare the next step.

PME en croissance — réunion de direction

Growing SMEs

Frame, transform and structure the organisation before growing, acquiring or handing over.

Grands groupes — architecture corporative

Mid-sized companies

Strategy, technology, compliance and talent: a single counterpart for the decisions that commit the group.

Fonds & Investisseurs — analyse financière

Funds & investors

Framing of holdings, post-acquisition support, selection of leadership teams, preparation of key milestones. Banks, funds, family offices, accountants: we are the partner of those who finance and advise, where their services end.

Frame and deliver

Eight disciplines to decide, steer and implement.

We intervene at the moments when decisions define the trajectory of an organisation. One firm, from diagnosis to execution.

Assets and software

Our proprietary assets.

Aegryn designs and operates its own digital assets: B2B SaaS, platforms, AI tools. We also take stakes in third-party assets. Each asset is documented and operated under real conditions. Software built for the group’s operations, available to the market.

Discover our assets

Custom software for your operations.

Enterprises, investment funds, institutions: Aegryn designs, deploys and maintains your business software. Full client IP ownership. An asset that works for you and your investors.

Discover Engineering

In a world where technology becomes obsolete in months, designing to last is an act of resistance. Every asset we build increases the value of your organisation, not your monthly cloud bill.

Why Aegryn

05

01

We are operators, not theorists.

We have built, failed, learned and started again. What we advise, we have lived. No template. No standardised slide deck. A view from inside the experience.

Board members, founders, chief executives. We do not deliver generic reports. We share a realistic strategic perspective with those who make the real decisions.

We align our interests with your results.

A supplier bills by the hour. A partner commits to outcomes. At Aegryn, our model is built so that our success depends on yours.

04

We activate the Aegryn network per mission.

Domain experts, independent auditors, investors and institutions: selected one by one, mobilised as needed. Expanded capacity without heavy structure.

05

Rooted in Switzerland. Operational across Europe.

Swiss institutional rigour as the standard for every engagement. An active presence in Switzerland, France, Benelux, Monaco and beyond. The local with a global vision.

SELECT

The profiles that make the difference.

Selecting key profiles and transition assignments, at every stage of the company lifecycle.

Our goal is always the same: strengthen your organisation’s value with the right people at the right time.
