About Us

Who We Are
and What We Do
About Us
The Investment Company for
Successful Mittelstand Companies

We are an owner-managed investment company based in Frankfurt am Main that – through the funds it advises – acquires majority shareholdings in profitable Mittelstand companies in the DACH region with a focus on asset-light business models in the areas of B2B services, IT services, software, healthcare & well-being, lifestyle and entertainment.

Our goal is to continue the success story of German-speaking SMEs. Admittedly, a bold statement but this is precisely the driving principle since Beyond Capital Partners’ first acquisition in 2015. You could say it was about beyond just capital from the very beginning.

Our Social Responsibility

Our philosophy is to support lower-mid-cap DACH SMEs, to promote sustainable growth by integrating ESG criteria, and to secure, and to further develop the competitiveness of our entrepreneurs and their companies against the backdrop of macroeconomic and social challenges in a future-oriented manner.
For us, the principles for sustainable investment are therefore an elementary part of all business processes. Accordingly, ESG is integrated as one of the central points in our investment process. Only those companies that grant appropriate importance to the principles of sustainable management and accept the associated challenges will continue to compete in the future and develop successfully in a rapidly changing environment in the long term.

Our Track Record

Our investment focus is on the acquisition of majority shareholdings in successful mid-cap companies in the revenue range of EUR 10 to 75 million, a historical profitability of at least EUR 1 million EBITDA and long-term growth potential within their competitive environment. Since 2015, we have gained the trust of institutional investors from Europe through three generations of funds. With 27 acquisitions (as of Dec. 2024), consisting of 13 platform investments and 14 add-ons, including a fast-growing roll-up strategy and three exits since 2015, we are one of the most active lower-mid-market GPs in DACH. The trusting and partnership-based cooperation at eye level with the founders, the management and other stakeholders is the most important prerequisite for us to be successful continuously and in the long term.

We Create Value Together

Many mid-cap companies are facing profound technological, demographic, and social changes that are permanently changing their industry structure and market environment. Beyond Capital Partners’ approach as a private equity investor is to successfully accompany companies in coping with these demanding change processes through entrepreneurial thinking as well as pragmatic advice to the founders and their management and, finally, sufficient capital.
We see ourselves as creative idea generators, trustworthy and experienced sparring partners and, above all, as entrepreneurs by heart.

“The financing of Beyond Capital Partners Fund II is partly made possible by the European Union’s financial support under the Equity Facility for Growth under Regulation (EU) No 1287/2013 of the European Union and of the Council establishing a Programme for the Competitiveness of Enterprises and Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (COSME) (2014-2020).”
