Since 2006, we have been investing in small and medium-sized companies. We develop companies with a long-term approach through an open partnership with the existing management and external board members.
Portfolio Overview
A Typical Capidea Investment
We typically invest in companies during generational transitions or when the owners seek to strengthen the companies' financial foundations to accelerate future growth. Other situations may include carve-outs or acquisitions from other financial investors. Capidea's equity ticket per transaction typically ranges between DKK 30m and 150m, with the option for additional capital infusions later in the ownership period.
We always invest in partnership with the company's management. We also identify individuals with strong skills and leadership experience to support the board and join as co-investors.
The ownership period for the acquired companies is typically 3-7 years.
Capidea will always be represented by at least one partner on the company's board but we also involve external board members with relevant industry experience.
