A pioneer in business growth

Mark Miller, co-founder and managing director of Carlsquare, demonstrated his entrepreneurial spirit whilst still a student at UW/H: in 1997, together with four of his fellow students at the time, he launched the UW/H Congress for Family Businesses, thereby breaking new ground. The event has since become a well-established institution that brings together the German business elite. It is an example of how students can achieve great things through their own initiative. 

The realisation of just how valuable a platform for trust-based exchange is for businesses ultimately led to the founding of the corporate finance and M&A consultancy Carlsquare. 

With 13 offices worldwide, Carlsquare is now one of the leading investment banks, supporting companies and investors in making key strategic decisions. Whether it’s the sale or acquisition of a company, an initial public offering or raising capital – Carlsquare supports its clients in finding the best path to sustainable growth and success. Thanks to an international network and local market knowledge, the consultancy brings its clients together with the right buyers, sellers or investors.
