Our (not so) secret sauce

Growing through creative collaboration

Whilst we don’t believe in one overarching strict system telling us how to go about our investments, there are still some things we believe in. Most importantly, we are here to create value. Investing in businesses where we can be a supportive partner to entrepreneurs, management teams and co-owners, we believe in creating value by being an active lead investor, closely involved in strategic matters like recruiting, financing, international expansion and add-on acquisitions. We get that these beliefs sound quite general, but we pride ourselves in executing them better than most.
