Co-owners focused on operations
not plain financial investors
We differentiate from plain financial investors because of a full commitment to act as co-owners and consider ourselves personally accountable for the steering of investee company operations. Like the business leaders with whom we partner, we have a passion for entrepreneurship. We take calculated risks and work for the best interests of the investee company and our investors, not the individuals.

Specific approach
We seek to co-own and co-manage companies that not only show the usual LBO or growth-capital candidate features (well established market positioning, positive and predictable cash-flows, distinctive product/process technology) but possess some of the following main characteristics:
the potential to extend their value chain or achieve scale through add-on acquisitions or manufacturing system re-engineering
the opportunity to enhance the existing human capital and possibly attract qualified resources in connection with new business needs
the desire to modify or accelerate their growth path to better comply with market trends
