And this is exactly how we
implement it in our advisory boards
Culture is something very esoteric
and has no place in business
Pretty far off the mark... the 'DNA' of a company determines its sustainable success!
Traditions must be
preserved at all costs
Not at all. We are forward-looking and believe that the only tradition worth preserving is that of change. With digitalisation as one of our long-term investment themes, we as an example focus on AI-powered software solutions.
"Impact" is just a
clever marketing gimmick
Absolutely not. Take Westbridge, for example, helping to decarbonize large real estate portfolios. In our investments, we focus on industries and companies that play a key role in addressing the opportunities embedded in achieving a sustainable environment.
Only scaling is crucial -
people are interchangeable in this process
Of course not. We are ambitious and aim to contribute by making successful solutions even more successful and developing them to the next level. At the same time, we are convinced that understanding and preserving a company’s unique culture is central to achieving this.
Every healthcare company
automatically has a positive impact
Unfortunately, that’s not the case. We try to quantify and track the positive impact for patients as precisely as possible and focus especially on companies that help reduce the costs of the healthcare system.
Successful software companies have nothing to do with positive impact?
On the contrary. Achieving positive impact is, in our view, unthinkable without technology. Whether it’s containing cyberattacks or reducing resource waste—true scalability is only possible through the use of technology.
You only have to think big
to really move forward
Not quite! 10% is the idea, 90% is the execution. As a group of entrepreneurs who put their own reputation and capital at risk, we try to truly understand whether things actually fit together, even if everyone claims they do. This is especially our guiding principle when it comes to company acquisitions and mergers.
