Drogon Capital Partners is an advisory boutique that works alongside ambitious founders on the path to a successful exit.

We specialise in M&A advisory, fundraising, and exit preparation for UK founder-led technology businesses valued between £5m and £50m. Our approach is different: we start working with founders 18 to 24 months before a transaction. We leverage our experience of having exited multiple times to bring real actionable value. 

Most businesses that go to market fail to sell. 79% of owners have no exit strategy. 50% don't understand the sales process. Only 1 in 10 deals complete. The problem isn't finding buyers, it's that businesses aren't ready to be sold.

We fix that.

As your Fractional Chief Exit Officer, we embed in your business 2 to 4 days per month, working across the areas that matter most to buyers: financial clarity, operations, owner dependency, growth, and management capability. 

When the time comes to transact, we run a competitive process as your in-house corporate finance team, managing buyer negotiations, deal structuring, and legal documentation through to completion.

We also offer fractional FD and accounting services, getting your books deal-ready with management accounts, board reporting, budgeting, cash flow forecasting, and due diligence preparation.

Founded by Estelle Lloyd and Douglas Lloyd, Drogon brings a rare combination of operator experience and transaction expertise. Between us, we have two successful exits (including a sale to a FTSE buyer), 50+ completed deals, $20m+ raised for our own businesses, and deep networks across the US, UK, and Europe.

Every exit starts with a conversation. No pitch, no pressure — just an honest discussion about your goals and timing. Let's talk.
