We are an entrepreneurial and growth-focused investor partnering with exceptional entrepreneurs and management teams to achieve sustainable profitable growth and transformational value through active, engaged and responsible ownership
About Ventiga
Ventiga is a European private equity firm investing in profitable growth companies with superior business expansion potential in the B2B services space. We are proud of our history of investment success, working actively in partnership with founders and management teams to unlock value and achieve superior returns for our investors
High Growth
We look for high-quality business models, typically characterised by recurring or repeat revenue and favourable margins structures, that have the potential to generate high revenue growth and achieve niche leadership positions
Transformational
We back management teams open to transforming their business operations through the adoption of best practice and operational excellence frameworks. We apply our multi-decade experience as hands-on investors and utilise our global network of resources to help portfolio companies achieve their full potential
Thematic
We target businesses that operate in industry verticals underpinned by strong and sustainable market trends, and which ordinarily experience rapidly expanding addressable markets over the long-term
Solving Complexity
We enjoy solving complex situations which require patience and creativity. Complexity can manifest itself in various forms in our world, ranging from disparate and seemingly incompatible shareholder ambitions to the need to combine two competing businesses at the outset in order to create a niche leader of sufficient scale
International
We like backing management teams with international ambitions. Whether this involves a business entering new markets via boots-on-the-ground or simply selling more to international customers, our team has deep experience in executing internationalisation strategies, including cross-border M&A
Responsible
We are committed to responsible ownership and constructively engage with our portfolio companies to ensure full alignment in our mission to build sustainable value for all stakeholders
