What we do
We aim to build great businesses and have contributed to the strengthening of market-leading companies, either by acquiring full ownership and growing strong management teams, or by partnering with existing entrepreneurs.
We have a successful history of providing solutions to shareholders that need buy-out capital for succession and to companies that need capital for growth. In addition to capital, we bring and share our knowledge accumulated over years in several geographies, sectors, business models and deals and also bring access to an extended business and professional network. We invest our own capital and can be highly flexible in regard to our investment horizon, the size of our deals and our transaction structures.
