Industrial
technology
After decades of being treated as the 'unsexy' corner of the economy, industry is back at the center of strategic attention.
Reshoring, energy transition, defense modernization and the rebuilding of supply chains have turned industrial technology into one of the most active corners of both VC and M&A. Robotics, automation, advanced manufacturing and industrial SaaS are converging into a new stack, where physical assets and modern software finally share the same operating model.
Flow advises founders and investors across Industry 4.0 - robotics and automation, advanced manufacturing, supply chain software, energy and climate, and defense technology.

We have deep experience across Industry 4.0
From robotics to ClimateTech software, we understand the modern industrial tech stack.
We understand and work with Industry 4.0 firms building across robotics, climate solutions and industrial IoT, both hardware and software.
What can we do for industrial tech companies
We've worked with both early-stage startups disrupting legacy industries, and industrial corporates to drive innovation through M&A.
Fractional CFO
Industrial businesses sit between hardware and software accounting - long sales cycles, project revenue recognition, and heavy working capital. We run the finance function across both sides so pricing, WC and capex decisions are made off real numbers.
VC fundraising
We work with industrial tech founders to make sure their VC fundraising process goes smoothly - from building a financial model, investor deck, to preparing the data room, and leading valuation negotiations. Our experience spans robotics, climate tech, industrial software and other Industry 4.0 categories.
M&A
We've built deep relationships with the corporate development teams (Siemens, Bosch, ABB, Schneider and more), and PE acquirers rolling up industrial tech. We know how to run M&A processes that speak their language, and make sure the deal process pace is right.
Selected industrial tech experience
We've advised on many category-defining industrial technology engagements.
What our clients say
Flow supported us from day 1, throughout the whole process, taking us from a fundraise to M&A. They understood what made Rebellion valuable and found an ideal buyer for us. Their advice was critical in getting the sale to the finish line and navigating complex closing environment. They made such a complicated process feel manageable. These are the M&A people you want in your corner.
Gin Gidre
Co-Founder & COO
Bringing on guys from Flow as our fractional CFO was a game-changer for A&Y. We had to clean up our reporting and build a financial model for the upcoming fundraise, and Nikhil & Olek delivered exactly what we needed. They became our trusted advisors who genuinely cared and later helped us during the fundraising process.
Franziska Leonhardt

We've worked with Flow Partners team several times by now on M&A processes.

Adam Hajer
Investment Manager
Flow Partners were pivotal in preparing BetterQA for our M&A process. Their expertise in building a financial model and crafting a compelling pitch deck brought structure and so needed clarity to our business. Highly recommended for their strategic insight, deep understanding of the software testing, and a personalized approach! 🙌
Tudor Brad
Founder & CEO
Very happy with Flow Partners, as they really think big picture and help beyond financial modelling. Organized our finance modelling in an efficient way, and then run our fundraising process, making it easy for us. They opened lots of doors to VCs and strategic investors that we wouldn't have accessed otherwise. Great guys, I recommend them highly!
