Operating capability behind the capital.
Munich investors range from family offices and insurers' asset arms to growth funds and corporate venture teams. All of them eventually need an operator on the inside of a company they back.
Where investors and their holdings need help
The same needs come up across a Bavarian portfolio:
A holding is missing a senior seat
A CFO, COO or commercial lead has left, and the search will take a quarter.
Technology diligence needs an operator
An investment team wants a view from someone who has built or run a comparable product.
A family office needs an operating partner
Capital is patient, but there is nobody inside the portfolio who can run a plan.
An owner wants a second voice
The investor backs the founder and still needs a second, capable voice in the business.
Operators can be working in a Munich investor's holdings inside weeks, under a services agreement lasting a quarter or an entire hold. They fill the gap, tighten the reporting and tell the investor honestly what they find.
Who this is for, and who it is not
Best for
- Adding operational value to investees without taking on management risk
- Giving founders a vetted operator you can refer with confidence
- Supporting several portfolio companies from one standing relationship
- Professionalising an investee while respecting its existing culture
- Staying in your governance role while the engagement is run for you
Not for
- Installing a controlling manager to run the company for you
- A single one-off introduction with no ongoing oversight
- Investors who want to direct day-to-day operations themselves
- A freelancer directory rather than a managed engagement
How we work with a Bavarian investor
Patient capital still needs someone inside the company. We keep governance around that person for as long as they are there.
Agreed reporting both ways
We fix the check-ins with the holding and the investor at the outset and hold to them, so drift shows up early.
Technical depth on call
When a holding's problem turns out to be about the product, your operator can draw on peers who have built one.
Our process covers a departure
If the operator leaves, the next search begins from our notes on the holding, and we manage the handover.
Matched to owner and investor alike
An operator the owner will not work with helps nobody. We test that relationship before proposing anyone.
The partnership model
One relationship. Portfolio-wide coverage.
Establish the standing relationship
We understand your investment thesis, your portfolio, and the types of leadership gaps most common across your investments.
You introduce us when needed
When a portfolio company needs operational leadership, you make the introduction. We handle everything else.
The right operator, fast
Discovery, matching, scoping, engagement management, and ongoing oversight, without you managing or coordinating it.
Visibility without burden
Lightweight reporting to you, not operational detail, but confidence that the engagement is performing. Investor-grade oversight without investor-level involvement.
Support by investor type
Different investors carry different portfolio needs. We match the operator to the need and manage the engagement, so it never lands back on you.
The operators we embed in your portfolio companies
Every operator is matched to the portfolio company's stage, sector and challenge.
