What we do

OpenLens is a Tech & SaaS-focused boutique that runs due diligence and builds value creation plans across software, hardware, and IT services companies.

Commercial Due Diligence

We assess the value proposition, market size and growth, competitive positioning, voice of the customer and key risks, so you can invest with an independent view.

Value Creation Planning

We co-build a strategic plan focused on the first 100 days. It defines the ambition, identifies which segments to target and sets out how to win in each of them through a prioritized list of value-creating initiatives.

Transformation Office

We run the office that coordinates workstreams, tracks progress against targets and flags issues early. It applies whether you are integrating an acquisition, carving out a business or executing a transformation. Because we built the case, tracking starts on day one with no handover.
