Where do you lay your investment focus?
We know that you have spent years of dedication, hard work, and passion to grow your business to where it is today. However, we also know the challenges and risks involved with expanding globally and growing into adjacent service areas. Our experience and knowledge to manage the growth of companies will help you to outperform your market.
ekwithree will provide active advice, coaching, direction and outside-in perspective to allow our partners' experts to initiate, drive and manage growth. ekwithree will also provide the required capital to finance such growth ambitions. For the ongoing day-to-day business, operational decisions, and client relationships, ekwithree will be rather a silent investor.
We are a family office established by entrepreneurs. Thus, we are different from strategic investors who absorb and integrate a company into their own business and also from private equity who are more driven by financial engineering and need to manage the expectations of external investors. We use our own capital and focus on shared values, purpose, and long-term partnerships.
You're the experts in your field, and we fully respect that. We see ourselves as strategic advisors, here to support - not replace. Our goal is to preserve what makes your team strong while working together to grow and evolve.
Our investment focus lies on owner-managed small to mid-sized companies in growing or early stage markets. We are particularly interested in B2B service providers and companies with a potential for internationalization, buy & build or tech-enablement. We prioritize companies with a robust management team and high growth potential.
