- We invest in entrepreneurs and companies that meet the shifting demand for healthy and sustainable products and services. We look for brands in the healthy, active and sustainable living market sector with a special approach to the millennial consumer segment
- Our mission is to create value by establishing hands-on partnerships with H&W entrepreneurs and management teams to reinforce, grow, and transform investee companies into market leaders, through industrially-driven strategies and operational improvements
- Our strategy is to leverage in our local teams and proprietary channels to find future market leaders in the fast growing but often highly fragmented H&W industry (consolidation opportunity), and to support domestic leaders in their industries to internationalize their business outside their domestic markets (internationalization opportunity)
The Opportunity

Button
- The H&W industry is one of the fastest growing sectors in Europe, a trend that is forecasted to continue as the population shifts its consumption patterns towards a more health-conscious lifestyle, and a new supply system is currently emerging to address this new demand
- Global H&W market is expected to reach US$1 trillion in 2017, growing at 20% CAGR. Capital scarcity in the underserved H&W VC European market vs. US allows for lower entry multiples and potential for future valuation arbitrage as the European industry catches up
- We have the experience, network, and proven track record to execute the investment strategy having already built a solid and attractive investment pipeline in order to deploy capital in a short timeframe.
