Why I founded AION – a personal story

Why I founded AION – a personal story

My name is Lijun Leibold. Three years ago, I was sitting with my uncle Klaus at his family's kitchen table. Klaus is 62 years old and has been running a successful business with an annual revenue of 5 million euros for 30 years. A life full of hard work, difficult decisions, and ultimately great success.
But that evening, Klaus was desperate.

Lock Symbol

Step 1 – Enter Important Company Data

You provide some key information about your company (industry, size, revenue range) and can upload documents if necessary - 100% confidential - no buyer sees your data without your consent.

Buyer profile showing a verified Buyer

Step 2 – AI analyses your business

Our AI compares your data with market data and similar companies and assesses key value drivers such as growth, profitability, and risk.

Step 3 – Get feedback and next steps

You will receive an indicative valuation range in seconds, along with a brief explanation of the key value drivers – plus options for the next steps, e.g. a conversation with the CEO.

Safety

Confidentiality is of utmost priority

Your information is 100% confidential. No buyer can see your profile or your business data unless you explicitly agree.

In contrast to many marketplaces where companies are publicly listed, AION is completely designed for discretion.

Mini-Reassurance
You remain entirely invisible to buyers - until you decide otherwise.
