For the operating partner • The Value Read
Seven weeks.Every gap priced.Every move owned.
We design growth. We engineer value. By rewriting the operating system for value creation.
The Value Read prices what a portfolio company could be worth, gap by gap, on its own numbers. The findings reach the sponsor on a named day in week seven, every move with an owner and a date.

Your facts against published law. No sales call to see your readings.
THE FLAGSHIP MANDATE: A €4.0B PLATFORM, A €4.5B THESIS · MORE THAN €0.5B OF NEW REVENUE, AS THE COMPANY REPORTED IT · THE CASE ON THE VALUE PAGE
Fourteen questions read your company. Here is one.
Marked. This is one dimension of fourteen: it sits inside WHY, the business model, which the Read reads first. Thirteen questions remain, and your three readings come at the end.
Run the full Diagnostic →Two ambitions. One operating system.
Your portfolio, worth more at exit.
Multiple expansion, engineered from inside the deal: the margin lifted, new revenue built, the multiple re-rated, on the ground in Luxembourg, under one accountable mandate. Diligence to exit, one continuous thread.
For capital allocators →Become the company capital markets will buy from.
Enter Luxembourg and fund the build with grants, arrive institution-grade, and reach the buyers you cannot reach alone. Your engineering becomes a higher-multiple asset instead of a bigger cost line.
For technology companies →Value = Revenue × Margin × Multiple
Three things set what a company is worth: revenue, margin and the multiple. We work them with two engines, kept apart so the new business does not starve the old. MakersOS is how we do it: the operating system for value creation. One model, two editions · MakersOS for Companies, and MakersOS for Capital Allocators.
The studio is the people. MakersOS is the system they run. Value creation is what comes out.
Run the present.
Cut the cost to produce and to serve.
Build the future.
Productise, own the IP, make revenue recurring.
Optimise the business you have. Build the business you want to have. The best companies do both at once.
Software does the heavy lifting. A partner decides.
Your number is not guessed by a machine. It comes from one model whose identity is published, the same arithmetic every time, and every client sees its working in their own Room. What is AI-native is how the work around it gets made: the research on your company, the diagnosis, the value map, the plan, the work that used to need a room of consultants for weeks, three partners deliver in days because AI carries the load. Consulting-grade work, at software speed, with the judgment kept human.
A number you can audit.
The working is shown in your own Room, with your numbers in it, and anyone who holds your Certificate can recompute it without us. Not a black box, and not a guess.
A large team’s work, from a small one.
The research on your company, the diagnosis, the value map and the plan, the parts that used to take consultants weeks, drafted with AI in days.
Judgment on the decision.
Once the numbers are settled, a human decides what to do, in what order, and what it is worth to you. The scarce thing, spent where it counts.
We design Growth. We engineer Value. By rewriting the operating system for value creation.
Technology companies fail to scale into capital markets because they pitch features to people who judge risk. Asset managers underperform because they treat operating models as static overhead instead of engine-room leverage.

Three partners. In your hand.
Every company is read from three seats: business, technology, and cybersecurity with the regulators. You speak with one of us from the first conversation, and all three read your company.
Three partners’ judgment. A whole firm to deliver it.
People do business with people, never with a logo or a robot.
So you deal with a partner and one contract. We own only what is critical, and bring a vetted ecosystem under that contract. The firm we built is the model we install.
Behind that one contract stands a vetted engineering bench that delivers through the ecosystem, and a network of specialists we have shipped real work with, where every name on it has delivered under our contract.
The partners design the value creation plan and answer for it. What lands it is a standing capability: a vetted execution bench, an ecosystem of specialist companies, and one contract that answers for the result.
A real delivery bench, with names and mandates.
Execution runs through a vetted engineering bench across the ecosystem, much of it in Romania, coordinated by the partners from Luxembourg, with specialists added as the work needs them. It never rests on one person’s calendar.
Companies we have actually built with.
A hand-picked group of specialist companies, from sovereign AI to industrial engineering, that we have delivered alongside or vetted ourselves. Reach that takes years to earn.
One partner, all the way to exit.
One accountable contract, from the first read to the exit, with no hand-offs and no one else to answer for the result.
Questions we are often asked.
What is Makers of New?
Makers of New is a value-creation studio and operating partner based in Luxembourg. It makes companies worth more by running today's business for profit and building tomorrow's for value, using its operating system, MakersOS. It was founded by Cristian Paun and is led by three partners: Cristian Paun, John Lazar and Ted Tanase.
What is MakersOS?
MakersOS is Makers of New's operating system for value creation. It installs a readiness diagnostic, a value model whose identity is published, a sealed client room and a set of delivery instruments on a 100-day clock, run by the client's own team, so the capability stays after the engagement ends.
How does Makers of New create value?
Through one equation, published. One engine optimises the business you already have and lifts the margin; the other builds the business you want to become, with new recurring revenue and owned IP that re-rate the multiple.
Who is Makers of New for?
Two audiences: capital allocators (private equity funds and family offices) who want portfolio companies worth more at exit, and technology companies scaling into capital markets.
Where is Makers of New based?
Luxembourg, in the European Union, with a delivery bench across Europe.
Your business has one engine running. Let’s build the second.
The best assets are engineered. Every quarter you wait, the multiple compounds for someone else.
