Through our Family Office we acquire businesses or partner with other investors, supporting entrepreneurs to spend longer periods of time growing and merging select businesses.
These businesses are in similar industries and globally complementary, or, in alternative industries but stronger as a whole. Most of these businesses are in software niches or specific business services niches, all with very low churn rates, fast growth curves and crystal clear ‘rights-to-wins’. Entrepreneurs in this category are visionaries and true business builders who see from an early career perspective their goals are long term. They typically look for investment partners where goals around longevity, talent acquisition, strategic M&A and regional density and consolidation, are aligned with theirs.
