Anchored by a Co-Development Mindset

We are a value-added bridge builder to bring capital and resources to private companies including unicorns to accelerate growth over several markets through co-development.

Overview

A FAST-CHANGING WORLD

The increasing speed of global changes taking place in the financial and technological realms is disrupting many industries and prevent most companies but the biggest ones to follow a “go-it alone” strategy. In particular, the multi-regionalization erects barriers that disrupt the growth strategies elaborated during the previous globalization phase.


WHY PARTNER WITH CAPITALIS PARTNERS?

In addition to providing capital, we support the growth of our portfolio companies by aligning dedicated operational resources for strategic expansion along their industry’s value chain and across several continents. We are keen to foster co-development between our portfolio companies as well.

We have been investing in and working with AI unicorns and startups that focus on disruptive technologies for industrial or enterprise applications and are looking for ways to collaborate with larger international clients to deliver concrete productivity gains and faster growth.

The cornerstone of our philosophy is to develop collaborative partnerships with management teams to tackle challenges, identify and implement significant value creation improvements.

Approach

DIFFERENTIATED APPROACH

Our culture of collaboration and open communication, coupled with our agile investing philosophy, allows us to act nimbly and flexibly across a wide variety of situations.

Capitalis Partners can provide both equity and debt capital to meet the unique needs of each company. We take the time to understand critical opportunities, challenges, and objectives facing each company’s executives, utilizing both data analytics and thoughtful dialogue.


HANDS-ON, PARTNERSHIP APPROACH

Dedicated cross-border advisory teams are set up for each company we invest into. We approach investing with a partnership mindset. This is particularly relevant on helping companies enter new markets or find strategic partners.


REWARD SUCCESS & GROWTH

We recognize that relationships with management teams, intermediaries and advisors represent the backbone of our success. We look to compensate executives and deal sources in a manner that properly rewards exceptional value creation. We frequently enter into buy-side representation engagements.
