Everything journalists, analysts, and editors need to cover MANDA Institute: the story, the facts, and how to reach us.
- The story, in one paragraph.
- Use the approved boilerplate as-is, or get in touch for a longer background briefing, data, or an interview. We aim to make accurate coverage easy.
- MANDA Institute is building a European business valuation platform. Backed by its institutional parent Leptis Magna Capital and founded by Eric Burnik, MANDA combines institutional M&A discipline with technology to give European business owners an evidence-based view of what their company is worth, with a guided, success-based path toward a well-structured exit. The platform serves businesses across EU, EEA, and EFTA markets, with hubs in Luxembourg, Amsterdam, and Belgrade.
- Coverage at a glance.
- Live figures from the platform. Please attribute to "MANDA Institute platform data" and note the date of access.
- The essentials, at a glance.
- Success-based fees: no cure, no pay. Provisional. No engagement letter has been drafted yet, so this is how we intend to charge rather than terms you can hold us to.
- EBITDA multiple sets the headline, or revenue multiple when adjusted EBITDA is not positive. DCF and asset based figures shown as cross checks.

The full valuation takes about 5 minutes, uses your own financials and shows up to four methods. Both are free. Both are indicative estimates, not a formal appraisal.
- The one success fee we intend to charge applies only when a deal closes. Provisional. No engagement letter has been drafted yet, so this is how we intend to charge rather than terms you can hold us to.
