WHO WE ARE

The Elden Way: Excellence. Integrity. Innovation. World-class International Expertise. Superior Results for Our Clients.

A DIFFERENTIATED AND HOLISTIC APPROACH.
OUR FIRM

Elden is an independent international firm focused on the provision of high-quality value added strategic, financial, M&A, investment and other bespoke advisory to private equity firms, family offices, entrepreneurs, company owners, management teams and boards.

We are an integrated advisory and investment firm with a differentiated and holistic approach to Sustainability, Technology and Food & Agiculture, where we have an umatched experience.

EXCELLENCE, HIGH VALUE AND BESPOKE SOLUTIONS.
OUR FOCUS

Juan Carlos Raposo, who spent most of his career at Goldman Sachs, is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Elden, which he founded after seeing a need in the middle-market for high-quality tailored advisory services and financing solutions. Such high-quality standards and solutions are typically only delivered by top global bulge bracket investment banks (the Goldman Sachs-like) advising multi-billion-dollar deals but are less frequently found in the middle-market.

Our focus is quality, integrity and excellence, delivering innovative out-of-the-box solutions adapted to the needs of each client in order to achieve superior results.

Standardizing solutions, services, and processes does not lead to the best results. We treat each client and situation differently. We offer value-added bespoke solutions to each case and each client.
