Investment Thesis
We engage in a discreet, thesis-driven deal-sourcing, originating and structuring transactions — targeting growth-stage to established companies in infrastructure, advanced technologies, sustainable systems, and real assets sectors with long-term structural tailwinds.
Each opportunity is assessed through a 360° lens — grounded in data, digital insights, strategic context (macro and micro), long-term vision, and institutional-grade structuring with a focus on consistency, scalability, and flexibility.
Our transactions range from private credit to equity, and may involve drawdown-based commitments, performance-aligned features (e.g., equity kickers), or flexible GP/LP arrangements tailored to the opportunity.
Transparent analytics on every deal, projects are carefully selected through a comprehensive 360° review by the Family Office partners. Legal consolidation of agreements ensures every deal is securely formalized.
The investment horizon we look at is typically 3-5 years with an expected minimum return 2-3x.
We raise capital from trusted investors to fund thoroughly vetted deals, with typical ticket sizes ranging between €5-20M. Occasionally, we also invest our own capital alongside.
– Infrastructure/Real Assets
– Energy/Cleantech/Renewables
– Smart Cities/Robotics/AI/Cyber
– Sustainability/Agritech
– Sports & Media
We focus on growth-stage, pre-IPO, secondary, and distressed opportunities — with selective exposure to early-stage deals when the fundamentals are exceptional.
Predominately EU and U.S. focused (Brits, Swiss, Israelis included), with occasional global investments.
