Entrepreneurial Spirit

Why Invest in LIFE Capital?
-
• Proven Foundation
Our model is based on the Search Fund approach, which has demonstrated an average IRR of around 35% historically (Stanford GSB data). We combine this method with daily operational oversight to reduce risk.
• Focused on Mid-Market Value
We invest in a profitable company (€3–8M EBITDA) that are primed for buy-and-build strategies, regional expansion, and modernization.
• Prioritizing Disciplined Growth
Our team balances opportunity with structured risk management, ensuring stable growth rather than speculative gains.
-
• Multi-Regional Expertise
By leveraging Dutch, German, and English capabilities, we target often-overlooked markets in the Benelux and NRW regions, capitalizing on cross-border synergies.
• Scalable Impact
These adjacent markets offer both immediate ROI and room for expansion, allowing our portfolio companies to scale effectively.
• Risk Diversification
Operating across multiple European jurisdictions reduces single-market volatility and provides a broader base for growth.
-
• Respecting Company Heritage
We maintain the essential elements—culture, relationships, and expertise—that made the acquired business successful.
• Efficient Integration
By retaining core teams and best practices, we minimize disruption and preserve momentum, leading to higher post-acquisition performance.
• Long-Term Value Creation
Sustainable growth strategies benefit not just shareholders but also employees, suppliers, and local communities.
-
• Operational Involvement
Our leadership team works within the company, ensuring direct oversight of all strategic and operational decisions.
• Regular Reporting
Investors receive concise, accurate updates on key performance indicators (KPIs), financial metrics, and progress milestones.
• Inclusive Governance
We value investor insights and offer opportunities for meaningful participation as advisors or board members.
-
• Shared Performance Goals
Our returns are tied to actual company performance. We only benefit when the business and our investors benefit.
• Responsible Decision-Making
By focusing on sustainable growth over quick exit, we build a robust, future-ready company.
• Holistic Stakeholder Approach
We consider financial outcomes and broader societal impact, ensuring responsible stewardship of the enterprise.
