Raddoppio · AI-native buy & build

More revenue, lower costs, one brain for the whole group.

Raddoppio is the mandate through which we work alongside entrepreneurs and holdings that grow through acquisitions. AI is the common thread: it finds clients and targets, puts each new company's data in order, removes repetitive work and makes the group worth more than the sum of its parts.

Group Company Brain: every new company joins with the same playbook

Doubling comes mainly from acquisitions. The +5% and −5% are what AI adds every year to each company in the group, acquired ones included.

00 · The common thread

In buy & build, value is created after closing. Or lost.

Between 70% and 90% of acquisitions fail to create the expected value (Christensen et al., Harvard Business Review, March 2011). Rarely because of the price: because of the integration.

01 · ARCHIVES

Every acquired company brings an archive nobody has ever classified: offers, contracts, price lists, references, certifications.

02 · DUPLICATES

Support functions multiply with every closing. Fixed costs grow faster than revenue.

03 · SILOS

Cross-selling stays on a slide: without a single knowledge base, nobody knows what to sell to whom.

The answer is not one more piece of software. It is a method that uses AI from origination to integration, always with a person who decides.

01 · The five levers

What AI does in a group that grows through acquisitions.

01 · REVENUE

Grow revenue

Agents that read market signals and find the right decision-makers, for every company in the group.

  • Signals: upcoming regulation, public grants, investments, new sites
  • Cross-selling between sister companies on the shared client base
  • More recurring revenue: subscriptions, licences, multi-year contracts
Measured by: pipeline · conversions · attributed revenue
02 · COSTS

Cut costs

Overlapping functions gradually merge into shared services that are already agent-driven.

  • Support functions common to every company
  • One structure serves the whole group
  • Growth is absorbed without raising fixed costs
Measured by: fixed costs to revenue · cost per case
03 · KNOWLEDGE BASE

Build the knowledge base

A group-wide Company Brain: everything the group knows, searchable in plain language.

  • Offers, references, price lists, contracts, certifications
  • MCP server: one token per person, revocable and logged
  • The foundation the sales agents work on
Measured by: time to answer a board question
04 · DATA

Classify the data

Every document and every invoice line classified by offering, client, period and margin.

  • LLM classification measured against a hand-checked sample
  • Offering map: what you really sell, to whom, at what margin
  • A single KPI dashboard, reconciled with the sources
Measured by: accuracy · reconciled data
05 · PROCESSES

Automate repetitive work

Repetitive work gets generated; then a person checks and approves it.

  • Leads and contact lists, offers and tender specs
  • Monthly reports, board packs, investor materials
  • No campaign goes out without approval
Measured by: hours freed · delivery times
02 · The path

The same method for every company that joins the group.

Per company · before closing

Origination and due diligence

Mapping of sector SMEs from financial statements, shareholder structure and industrial fit. Scored long list, confidential first contact, AI-assisted due diligence with a risk matrix and red flags.

T+90 · first 90 days

The data enters the Company Brain

The new company's archive is indexed and classified with the same rules as the others. One KPI dashboard. Its offers become sellable by the whole group.

T+12M · shared services

Gradual integration

Overlapping functions move into shared services without disruption: processes become agent-driven first, then they are merged. People stay where they create value.

At steady state

From cost to new revenue line

Once internal processes run on agents, the group can offer the same AI services to its own clients, on their domain. AI stops being a cost and becomes an offer.

03 · Why the group is worth more

Investors pay for what is recurring, orderly and repeatable.

Revenue

Depends on the founder and their network

Agentic pipeline measured monthly, growing recurring share

Costs

Functions duplicated with every acquisition

Shared services, fixed costs growing slower than revenue

Data

Scattered archives, numbers that disagree

One Company Brain, one reconciled dashboard

Integration

Every closing reinvents the process

One playbook, same rules for growth and savings

Capital

Equity story built at the last minute

Data room always ready, a story backed by numbers

Plan targets are agreed with the entrepreneur and measured monthly. They are not guaranteed results.

04 · Engine room

How an agent works, week after week.

Demonstration only. Raddoppio is not a self-serve product: agents and rules are built on each group's domain.

05 · The mandate

Three years, three workstreams, fees tied to results.

CLIENTS

Business development

Agentic sales for the group's companies, with monthly reporting on pipeline and attributed revenue.

ACQUISITIONS

Buy & build

Targets, valuation, term sheet, due diligence and post-closing integration following the group playbook.

CAPITAL

Investors

Family offices, SME funds, club deals and industrial investors. Equity story, data room, structuring across equity, earn-outs and seller reinvestment.

How fees work

A retainer for the ongoing work, plus a success fee earned only on the mandate's results: clients brought in and companies acquired. Organic growth that does not depend on us does not count. Terms are set in the proposal, based on the company's data.

Who it is for

  • Founder-led entrepreneurs who want to bring complementary companies together
  • SMEs and groups with roughly 3 to 80 million euros in revenue
  • Holdings and buy & build vehicles in B2B services SMEs
  • Groups that want to grow without growing fixed costs at the same pace

Not a fit for anyone expecting magic without data or an internal owner.

In capital raising Acerbo.AI provides only strategic-financial advisory and introductions to professional investors. It does not provide investment, placement or credit brokerage services under Italian law (TUF and TUB). Debt is negotiated by the company with its own lenders.

Questions we often get.

Does AI replace people?

No. It removes repetitive work and lets the group grow without hiring at the same pace. Decisions stay with the entrepreneur and management.

Where is the data?

On the group's infrastructure or a dedicated server in Europe, with named access and logs. No data is used to train vendors' models.

Do we need new systems?

No. We work with what you have: exports, spreadsheets, PDFs, email. Putting the data in order is part of the job.

How much does it cost?

It depends on the plan and the group's scope. We set it in the proposal, after an initial assessment.

Is doubling guaranteed?

No. It is a shared target, with a plan measurable year by year and monthly reporting.
