Unlike traditional private equity, we prioritize long-term relationships over quick exits. Our investment horizon spans 5-10 years, allowing companies to grow sustainably without the pressure of artificial timelines.
We invest in businesses generating €2M-€50M in annual revenue, typically taking minority to majority stakes depending on the situation. Our sweet spot is companies at inflection points – ready to scale but needing the right resources and guidance.
