We eagerly partner with founders to accelerate the development of their businesses. Our approach is based on collaboration and trust, private equity being not just about capital but also commitment and partnership. Together with each company’s management, we develop growth strategies, secure optimal financing and build strong leadership. Our investment team provides hands-on support through supervisory board positions. We achieve lasting change, preparing companies for success even beyond our investment horizon.
We do not engage in projects that could harm local or global communities, the environment or the economy.
Our approach to ESG issues continues to evolve and is fully embedded in our operations. To date, we have exited 142 portfolio companies and conducted 35 IPOs on the stock exchanges in Warsaw (WSE), Prague (PSE), Vilnius (Nasdaq) and New York (NYSE).
