Adding value

Our investment approach provides more than just high quality, sustainable capital. We work closely with the entrepreneurs and management teams we back to develop smarter and more innovative practices that help them to professionalise their processes, execute their business plans and accelerate growth.

Our in-house team of investment professionals, complemented by an extensive network of external specialists, add value in a wide range of areas, including: organisational development, partnership and customer acquisition, strategic marketing and planning, international expansion, corporate governance and growth finance.

By drawing on our experience with innovative blue-chip companies such as Intel, Lucent, Bain & Co and Deutsche Bank, we offer relevant perspectives and expertise to every portfolio company.

As the businesses we invest in grow we provide corporate finance support and we can help them to secure future investors and additional sources of capital.  

We also regularly help our portfolio companies attract senior industry figures as board directors, managers and special advisers.

Our portfolio companies also gain access to the resources of the entire Doughty Hanson group, an investment manager with over €9 billion invested in private companies and a 25 year track record of delivering superior investment performance to a global investor base.
