Strategy
We seek to enhance the value of ambitious and growth-oriented companies, driving improvements alongside entrepreneurs and management teams in strategy, management, processes, and systems.
Our Value Creation
Investment Criteria
We seek companies in different sectors (except real estate) with EBITDA starting from €4m, with growth or improvement opportunities that allow us to significantly increase their value.
Company Profile
We seek companies in different sectors (except real estate) with EBITDA starting from €4m, with growth or improvement opportunities that allow us to significantly increase their value.
Others
We seek companies with high entry barriers, unique strategic differentiation, responsible management in ESG matters, and limited exposure to regulatory or technological risks.
Size
We invest in companies with revenues over €15m and EBITDAs above €4m, with high growth potential and/or margin expansion and high cash generation.
Capital Structure
Our investment ticket ranges from €10m to €25m (potentially higher with co-investors), avoiding excessive leverage, and being very flexible to different structures: majorities/minorities, own capital/co-investment/debt.
Markets
We prioritize markets with favorable trends and potential for consolidation and/or growth. We do not invest in the real estate market.
Strategy
We approach all available levers for value generation with the methodological rigor derived from our experience and knowledge.
Organic Growth
We have successfully defined and implemented various expansion and commercial excellence strategies (e.g., entry into new markets and products, use of advanced pricing methods, and digital tools for prescriptive sales), as well as productive expansion (e.g., facility expansion, lean production to mitigate bottlenecks)
Margin Improvement
We have in-depth knowledge and have successfully implemented multiple operational efficiency levers, both traditional (external spending, design, production) and digital (e.g., design and implementation of resource and material planning systems, warehouse management)
Inorganic Growth
We have proven experience in successfully applying buy & build strategies, both nationally and internationally, and a close relationship with a wide network of M&A advisors.
Value enhancement
We work on various levers that, although less tangible, serve to enhance a company's value (e.g., market positioning, intellectual property, team reinforcement, culture, and capabilities)
Professionalization/Transition
We support our partners and portfolio companies in professionalization and generational transition processes, accompanying them and providing resources to ensure success for the company and its shareholders.
