The firm specializes in acquiring stakes in financially sound, mid-market companies within the German-speaking region (DACH), focusing on management succession plans and growth investments. They target sectors including IT, TMT, hardware, manufacturing, software, healthcare, industrial technology, consumer goods, retail, business services, and media, with a particular emphasis on technology-driven future verticals and companies that are technology-enabled, profitable, and possess strong development potential, responding to megatrends such as AI, machine learning, automation, digitalization, and networking.
