Alex Prokofrev (Roll Up Europe): Roll-Ups, Bending Spoons & Chapters Group

Alex Prokofrev, a former investment banker who also worked at Bolt, explains Roll Up Europe's mission to make Europe the spiritual home of acquisition entrepreneurs and create a new asset class. He breaks down the two roll-up models — aggregate-and-sell to PE versus perpetual compounders like Danaher, Roper, and Constellation — and why Europe's fragmented markets, retiring owners, and talent flows are the opportunity. He also gives a deep dive on his viral Bending Spoons article (their rebuild-first operating model, leverage, and likely move into public take-privates), the Chapters Group story, and Roll Up Europe's 2026 plans including a first US event.
