About us

Who is behind evo Capital.

evo Capital grew out of a simple observation: many good mid-sized businesses could achieve far more if someone with capital, experience and patience stood by their side. That is exactly what we want to be.

Our story

Ten years of buy-and-build. Now as entrepreneurs.

For almost ten years on the investor side, we saw what happens when a good business finds the right partners. Individual companies became groups with several hundred employees, with new markets, new services and entrepreneurs who shared in the growth. In some years more than ten companies joined that had to be acquired and properly integrated.

This shaped our conviction: Smart buy-and-build creates value for everyone involved. For the entrepreneurs who hand their life's work to good hands or keep shaping it. For the employees who find new opportunities in a larger group. And for the customers who get more from a single source.

With evo Capital we are now doing this ourselves, together with private investors who understand entrepreneurship, and with the time a business needs to grow well.

Team
