Altea Partners is a privately owned merchant banking firm.

With offices in London, Berlin, and Luxembourg, we serve a select group of global clients, primarily in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.

About

Founded in 2024, Altea Partners operates an integrated platform with two complementary lines of business:

  • Investment Advisory – Serving select long-term investors in private and public markets
  • Investment Banking – Mergers & acquisitions, corporate finance, and capital markets advisory

Our sector coverage spans Technology, Consumer/Retail, Digital Infrastructure, Financial Services, Healthcare, Industrial & Resources, and Real Estate. We frequently focus on technology-driven or technology-enabled businesses within these sectors.

Typical private market investments range from $20–100 million. Our flexible capital approach allows us to consider opportunities outside this range when aligned with our strategic focus.
