RTPR Allen & Overy has advised private equity fund Catalyst Romania on its investment in the SmartDreamers S.R.L. online recruitment platform. Eversheds Lina & Guia advised SmartDreamers on the investment, which targets the development of its business and its international expansion.

RTPR Allen & Overy describes 3TS Catalyst Romania as "the most active investor in Romania by the number of companies in the IT and technology sector," and reports that its investment in SmartDreamers is the fund’s tenth deal. In the last two years RTPR Allen & Overy advised the fund in relation to several projects, such as Elefant Online (a well-known online retailer in Romania), Intelligent IT (the developers of the billing software SmartBill), Marketizator Friends (offering to online businesses conversion rate optimisation services, surveys, traffic segmentation and web personalisation), Vector Watch (the smart watches business), 123ContactForm (a software development company whose primary product is an online web form and survey builder), Green Horse Games (the developers of an online football gaming company).

The RTPR Allen & Overy team consisted of Managing Partner Costin Taracila, Counsel Alina Stavaru, Senior Associate Ana Maria Eremia, Associate Laurentiu Tisescu, and Junior Associate Evelin Grigore.

"We would like to thank Catalyst Romania for giving us the chance to advise them once again on a new project," said Alina Stavaru. "The new deal is a confirmation of the fact that the online sector generates interesting businesses for investors. We wish our client Catalyst Romania that this project becomes an international success as they plan and we are honoured to have been part in its accomplishment." 

Laurentiu Tisescu added: "We are extremely proud to have had the chance to assist Catalyst Romania on the fund’s tenth investment in Romania. It was a very intense deal which took place within a short timeframe and which was achieved as a result of the professional approach of all parties. We would like to thank Catalyst Romania for putting their trust in us and we are happy to have been part of a project that we believe will become a success story."
