Co-Investor

About The Fund

Co-Investor is a private equity investment firm that targets small to medium-sized companies in German-speaking countries, in particular, focusing on those within IT, BioTech, Hardware, HealthTech, and other technology-driven sectors. Originating in Zurich, Switzerland, since 2000, they have been pioneers in providing growth capital within the DACH region (Germany, Austria, and Switzerland). Their approach amalgamates traditional financing with their ethos of partnership and entrepreneurial spirit. This ethos claims that entrepreneurial success is not only measured by profits but also by the ability to create something significant from the combination of skills and resources. Their investment philosophy hinges on partnering with companies that share their outlook on entrepreneurship, which encompasses determination, vision, and the drive to create. They believe that an entrepreneur is characterized not just by business acumen and risk-taking but also by accountability and humility. Co-Investor started as a front-runner in direct investments within the German-speaking middle market, embodying the principle of active entrepreneurial involvement, not solely financial backing. From this expertise, they have developed funds that reflect the same entrepreneurial pioneer spirit. They argue that taking significant strides requires courage, and the right partner should have experience with such decisions, displaying a responsible attitude and an understanding of the balance between risk and progress. Their focus remains on creating a network of individuals and companies that align with their values, fostering trust and mutual growth. Co-Investor asserts that their concept of 'entrepreneurs financing entrepreneurs' is more sought after than ever, reflecting a market trend where entrepreneurs prefer interaction and deal-making with peer entrepreneurs rather than pure financial investors. The firm remains selective, emphasizing tailored investments where alignment in personality and performance is key for long-term relationships and success.
