Investment criterias
With over three decades of investment experience, we have a legacy of supporting entrepreneurs across diverse sectors including private equity, venture capital, real estate, and beyond.
Today, we're sharpening our focus to specialize in Private Equity through direct investments and Funds, paving a clearer path for the future.
Private Equity
Investing in private equity aligns perfectly with our family's ambitions. As entrepreneurs, we love staying connected and being involved in the success of innovative companies by supporting managers in high-growth opportunities. We enjoy getting hands-on, using our experience to help managers achieve even greater success. This is what truly energizes us.
Drawing from our many projects and extensive journeys, we've discovered our greatest strength lies in partnering with entrepreneurs who share the same values.
Amplify growth trajectory
Entrepreneurs seeking to amplify their growth trajectory, searching for a steadfast ally to unlock future potential through capital injection.
Partial exit
Entrepreneurs aiming for a partial exit while maintaining a steadfast commitment to their company's ongoing growth.
Complete exit
Entrepreneurs looking to make a complete exit, recognizing the necessity of transitioning their company to new ownership, as passing it down to the next generation isn't viable.
In essence, our commitment lies in collaborating with entrepreneurs who not only aspire for growth
but also align with our fundamental principles, fostering a partnership built on mutual ethos and
geared towards long term success.
