The firm specializes in direct equity investments, primarily targeting established, medium-sized companies within the DACH region, encompassing Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Unlike traditional venture capital funds, Hevella Capital focuses on mature businesses rather than early-stage startups, emphasizing long-term partnerships and sustainable growth.
The firm's investment strategy is centered on acquiring stakes in profitable companies that possess proven business models and strong market positions. Hevella Capital seeks out businesses with stable cash flows and a clear potential for further development, often looking for succession solutions or growth financing opportunities. Their sector-agnostic approach covers a broad range of industries, including manufacturing, services, trade, healthcare, and B2B technology, reflecting a diversified portfolio strategy.
Hevella Capital typically invests in companies with annual revenues ranging from approximately €5 million to €100 million. Their equity investments generally fall within a range of €1 million to €10 million per transaction. This translates to an approximate check size of $1.08 million to $10.8 million USD, based on current exchange rates. It is important to note that Hevella Capital explicitly avoids investments in early-stage startups, real estate projects, or pure project financing, distinguishing their mandate from that of a typical venture capital firm. They are committed to providing flexible capital solutions and acting as a reliable, long-term partner for the management teams of their portfolio companies.
