Context
Pollen Street Capital has acquired a majority stake in Assessio from Main Capital Partners. This transaction marks the culmination of a successful transformation phase where the company pivoted from a consultancy-driven model to a scalable SaaS business. The deal provides an exit for Main Capital, which tripled the company's revenue during its four-year holding period through aggressive international expansion and bolt-on acquisitions in the Benelux and Nordic regions. Pollen Street Capital intends to continue this "Buy-and-Build" strategy, supporting the management team to further consolidate the fragmented European assessment market and drive product innovation in AI-driven talent analytics.
This transaction is part of the TMT (Tech, Media, Telecom) industry, which currently tracks an average EBITDA multiple of 13.6x since the beginning of 2026, 4.1% decrease compared to 2025. This data is based on contribution from our growing community, composed of M&A and Private Equity professionals, and has been verified by our team to ensure its accuracy.
