Strategic Advisory · EMEA
A boutique advisory firm that brings senior-level expertise and hands-on execution to complex strategic challenges, commercial development, and investment mandates across EMEA.
Who We Are
Onebox Ventures (OBV) is a boutique Strategic Advisory, Business Development, and Investment Management firm dedicated to driving sustainable growth, leading complex engagements, and creating enduring value for our clients.
We work at the intersection of strategy and execution — bringing senior-level expertise, hands-on leadership, and a trusted network across EMEA to every engagement. Our approach is built on three integrated phases: we assess the landscape, we strategise and plan, and we execute.
We stay with our clients through the full cycle — from sharpening strategic direction to closing business development, fundraising, M&A, and investment mandates.
What We Do
Engaged individually or in combination, covering the full scope of strategic and commercial challenge.
We help clients define where to go and how to get there — spanning corporate strategy, market entry, competitive positioning, product strategy, and business planning.
We translate strategy into commercial traction — identifying and pursuing new markets, channels, and partnerships, converting strategic intent into signed agreements and new revenue.
We advise on and lead investment and M&A mandates end-to-end: opportunity identification, thesis development, due diligence, structuring, negotiation, and closing.
Our Methodology
We work in a structured cycle that mirrors how the best-run organisations make decisions and capture opportunities. As new information emerges during execution, we return to assessment and re-calibrate — keeping strategy live, not static.
A rigorous assessment of the client's position — business model, competitive landscape, organisational capabilities, market dynamics, and strategic options — before any strategy is written or action is taken.
We develop the strategic architecture: corporate strategy, market entry plans, product or portfolio strategy, business plans, and go-to-market frameworks. Rigorous enough to stress-test, concrete enough to execute.
We lead or co-lead the operational work: driving business development, managing fundraising or M&A processes, deploying capital, building partnerships, and embedding as senior leadership where needed.
↻ This cycle is iterative — as new information emerges during execution, we return to assessment and re-calibrate.
Our Edge
Our principals lead every engagement directly — not analysts. Clients work with people who have built, led, and exited businesses.
We stay from the first assessment through to execution and closure. Our measure of success is what gets built, signed, or transformed.
Decades of experience across TMT, Energy, Construction Materials, and F&B gives us pattern recognition generalist advisors cannot replicate.
Deep, long-standing relationships with corporates, investors, governments, and operators across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
Project mandate or embedded CxO-as-a-Service — we structure engagements to fit your situation, not the other way around.
How We Engage
A structured engagement with a clear scope, defined deliverables, and an agreed timeline. Suited to clients who need focused expertise for a specific strategic challenge, transaction, or business planning exercise.
Typical mandates: market entry strategy, business plan development, M&A origination, partnership assessment, go-to-market design.
A senior Onebox Ventures principal takes on an executive role within the client organisation — as Chief Business Officer, Chief Strategy Officer, or equivalent — providing continuity, accountability, and leadership without the overhead of a full-time hire.
Typical roles: CBO, CSO, Chief Investment Officer, Head of Corporate Development.
