Achieving Visions
Think big, act right – for tomorrow’s category champions
To take companies to the next level, you need to think ‘boldly’ and develop a growth vision that is as ambitious as it is sound and realistic. At Afinum, we work closely with the founders and management teams of our portfolio companies to develop a roadmap with clearly defined milestones. In this way, we bridge the gap between the present and the vision and enable targeted action. This is our strength, and it is how we create the market leaders and category champions of tomorrow.

The Afinum companies
Technology-enabled, profitable and with strong development potential: the companies in Afinum’s investment portfolio use their business models to respond to the megatrends of our time. These include, above all, AI and machine learning, automation, digitalisation and networking, as well as high-tech products and services in the healthcare sector. There are many thematic and technological similarities. This makes the Afinum family of companies a platform with high synergy potential and networking advantages.
Flexible capital for SMEs
Afinum invests its own BAFIN-regulated funds and favours majority stakes in medium-sized companies in the DACH region. This was already the case with the first fund generation in 2000 and remains unchanged today in the current ninth fund generation. Another constant is the flexibility of our funds. This allows us to structure a tailor-made equity solution for almost any entrepreneurial situation and to develop the necessary transformative power.
Sustainable responsibility
Long-term growth and value creation can only take place in an intact environment. As an investment company, we not only take responsibility for the economic dimension of our actions, but also combine this with social and environmental responsibility. In this way, we create the conditions for sustainable value creation and ensure the future viability and long-term economic success of our portfolio companies. This is sustainable responsibility and in the interests of all our stakeholders.
