PE/VC investors

Private Equity (PE) and Venture Capital (VC) investors are the catalysts of innovation and growth in the business world. PE firms primarily target established companies, seeking to optimize operations and unlock value through strategic investments and management expertise. They focus on long-term growth and profitability, often preparing businesses for a future sale or IPO. VC investors, by contrast, are the adventurers of finance, injecting capital into high-potential startups and early-stage companies. They embrace risk for the possibility of outsized returns, often becoming invaluable advisors. Both investor types not only bring capital but also strategic guidance, industry connections, and market insights, propelling their portfolio companies towards success.

We focus on investment cases which are based on sustainable growth in revenues and earnings. Our approach is to help realise a company’s growth potential independent from the transaction structure, which is why we consider minority or majority shareholdings including replacement capital as well as the injection of growth capital. We typically invest up to €15 million of equity per company and are generally cautious about financial leverage. <br /> <br /> Sustainability is at the heart of our investment strategy. We invest in and work with businesses that have developed technologies and services, with high barriers-to-entry, to alleviate or reduce waste and enhance energy and resource efficiency. Therefore, we invest in five sectors across Northern Europe: information technology (software & hardware), mechanical & electrical engineering, advanced materials & specialty chemicals and business services (with strong differentiation/know-how).
