of passion and expertise, whilst daring to shape the
future.
We transcend traditional industry sectors, creating
investment opportunities that capitalize on the synergies and

As experts, we delve deeply into innovative
technologies—both hardware and software—and
adapt flexibly to dynamic market environments.
We’re also multi-passionate tech enthusiasts who
speak the language of both engineers &
entrepreneurs.
Imaginative, bold, dreamers and doers. Outside-of-the-box non-conformists. We invest in people who are
unafraid of change and dare to build differently. True
innovators. And unafraid to go all in. They’re hard to
find but we’re over the moon when we find them.
It’s our job to accompany them on the boldest growth
journey and transformation of their business life.
We prioritize retaining and nurturing leaders and their
existing talent—their expertise, teams, and established
networks—as key drivers of value creation.
We enter the stage when companies are facing
generational changes, shareholder issues,
technological barriers, spin-outs, growth challenges,
or a complex mix of all.
On average, we invest
in SME B2B tech companies at a pivotal moment of
change or scalability in their business journey. We
partner with already successful companies with
headquarters in the DACH region, those with
market relevance, exciting prospects, and the
hunger to keep growing.

As experienced entrepreneurs, we know your
business, having played the long game ourselves.
We remain laser-focused on long-term value.
We’re roll-up-our-sleeves collaborators but don’t
interfere in day-to-day operations.

culture, technology and product, organic and
inorganic growth, finance and transformation, and
operational excellence.
Our founding team brings a wealth of
experience in managing complex
technologies, cultural development, and
organisational structures as it consists of
the key innovators and leaders from the
internationally renowned company
umlaut.
umlaut was a global, full-service, crossindustry,
end-to-end group of
consultancies and engineering firms with
over 4500 employees and 50+ locations
worldwide.
In 2021, umlaut was sold to Accenture.
