We’re not a fund. We originate and validate our own theses, with the operating team we pick for each one, and we bring a deal forward only when the thesis is right. Deal by deal, with our own capital next to our co-investors’.
Most capital arrives once a deal is on the market. We arrive earlier. We build the case, the structure, and the operating team before we commit a single euro.
The work that creates the return happens before the auction begins, or instead of it.
The independent-sponsor model keeps the discipline of a fund and the alignment of an owner, without the pressure of a blind pool.
Three protagonists on every step: us, the sector operating team, and the invited co-investor. Each step earns the next.
We identify a fragmented mid-market sector where institutional consolidation is structurally absent, and we build our own thesis. Market map, value-creation logic, target universe.
We map the sector and build the thesis and the model.
Brings ground truth, operating insight, target relationships.
Sees a fully formed thesis, not a teaser.
No deal goes to market until the thesis is proven. Conviction precedes capital. The diligence on the sector is done before any process begins.
We test the thesis to destruction and structure the entry.
Validates operations, margins, and the add-on pipeline.
Invited only when conviction is real.
We acquire a platform of institutional quality. Typically the regional leader, with durable margins, audited accounts, and a team able to lead a build-up.
We structure, negotiate, and execute the acquisition.
Steps in from day one of ownership.
Co-invests in a defined, anchored platform.
A value-creation plan executed before more capital is deployed. Systems, governance, reporting installed at institutional standard.
We install governance, reporting, and financial control.
Runs the operational plan on the floor.
Receives institutional-grade reporting.
Disciplined add-ons over a five to seven year horizon. Each one underwritten on its own merits, compounding the platform into the European leader of its niche.
We source and underwrite each add-on.
Integrates every acquisition operationally.
Compounds alongside our own capital.
Our capital and conviction sit next to the co-investor’s, in every deal. We get paid on realised performance, not on assets under management.

The name sets the discipline. Capital is the cloth. The operating team is the seam that takes the strain. The bond between sponsor and co-investor is the stitch that holds, across a five to seven year passage.
