Little Mamma : IT Due Diligence

Learn how Netsystem’s IT M&A experts supported CDG Invest Growth in the due diligence process for Little Mamma.

Context & objectives

ATA Value Capital is a group operating in Morocco under the brands Little Mamma, Big Nonna, Duo Café, Zay Paratha, and Lucciano’s. With nearly 30 locations across the country and exemplary vertical integration (cheese production, production facility, and agricultural operations), ATA Value Capital is a rapidly growing group. They have therefore decided to open their capital to CDG Invest Growth and Yassine Bounou to accelerate their development.

As part of this transaction, Netsystem was part of the advisory team engaged by CDG Invest Growth and notably conducted the group’s IT due diligence to provide the investor with a clear, objective, and actionable view of the target’s technological landscape, enabling them to invest with confidence and ensure the company is agile and scalable.
