FINYOND Capital, based in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, is a venture capital firm specializing in private equity investments with a keen focus on small-cap companies operating within the realms of B2B, technology, and financial services. They carry over two decades of combined expertise in investment and operational skill sets, positioning them as a valuable partner for businesses grappling with succession planning, growth strategies, and the integration of digitization. With a strong commitment to bolstering individual scaling strategies, FINYOND Capital leverages their experience gained from investments made in both traditional service companies and pure tech entities, ensuring a balanced approach to enhancing business performance not just through bottom-line improvements but via revenue growth or strategic acquisitions as well. They concentrate on investing in profitable enterprises that hold potential for either high-margin returns or rapid growth, particularly those that can offer a majority stake and have a solid financial foundation with annual revenues of EUR 5 million or greater. FINYOND's team is prepared to assist management buy-out, buy-in, or succession events, supporting managers at critical junctures of corporate evolution. Beyond these investment activities, they pride themselves on their network of serial investors and entrepreneurs with whom they maintain enduring, reliable relationships, facilitating more than mere transactions. Through various engagements, the team at FINYOND, including investors like Carsten Maybach, have demonstrated a capacity to ask pivotal questions and identify key opportunities when interacting with management teams, suggesting a hands-on approach that transcends simple capital investment. Their diverse portfolio showcases their ability to work across different sectors and establish long-term collaborations, exemplified by repeat partnerships with founders in their network.
