We invest in_
big plans of unbound entrepreneurs: ambitions that don’t fit fixed boundaries. We’re one team, spanning Europe and North America, offering the support and flexibility (in capital and extended horizons) to create global market leaders. Our aim is platform companies (€400 – €500 million) in global niche industries.
We’re building on a portfolio of five to seven platform companies that benefit from the extended investment horizon (our typical holding period is 10+ years). The Evergreen fund has an indefinite lifetime and a committed capital of €700 million.
We invest_courage
The entrepreneurs we like to partner with have dreams that are too big or oddly shaped for more traditional capital providers. They require extended holding periods, capital requirements or geography. They seek an equally ambitious partner with the courage to join them on their uncharted journey.
We invest_trust
Our relationship with entrepreneurs who are ready to make the next big step is based on trust. We work hard to get aligned on the mission with our partners and then trust them to do what they do. When we all focus on our jobs and execute our roles, we have the best chance of winning as a team.
We invest_flexibility
Evergreen is 100% funded by our own money. We’re not accountable to anyone else. It’s why we can offer the necessary patience and flexibility to founders and entrepreneurs whose ambitions defy fixed (and common) boundaries. We believe it’s the flexibility to thrive under pressure and be patient when needed.
We invest_grit
We seek to drive superior outcomes, accelerating the journey of our portfolio companies by doing hard things. With relentless grit and full commitment, prioritizing long-term gains over short-term rewards. It’s how we build better companies with sustainable advantages.
Our mission
We’re boldly building global niche leaders, by breaking entrepreneurial boundaries.
We build the structure, timeframe and support to break real and perceived boundaries. Whether it’s financial, international, knowledge or experience boundaries and limitations, our portfolio companies can rely on our team of highly experienced specialists in every field.
Working closely together, step by step, we bring unbound dreams within bounds. Turning promising companies into leading companies, globally, in their specific niche.

Human capital
At Egeria we believe the success of an organization depends on its people. That is why our Human Capital Director focusses on building and strengthening the management teams of our portfolio companies. We make sure that, together with our portfolio companies, we build and develop teams that have the right capabilities on board to grow, to create value and to achieve sustainable high performance.

Digitization
Digital technologies are critical value drivers in any industry. On the one hand, they enable new business models and more efficient processes, while on the other they require new capabilities in customer interaction, collaboration, technology, security and privacy.

Commercial effectiveness
A due understanding of the problems our customers face is key in order to underpin sustainable growth. Driving turnover growth is achieved by setting out a sales roadmap based on insights gleaned from the data available. This strategy is subsequently translated into customer proposals, price models, dynamics for the sales teams and innovative product/market combinations. We know exactly what is needed to step up your commercial efficacy.

International expansion
Most of our portfolio companies have an international footprint or are planning to expand their business abroad. It is important to realize that there is no universal method that works everywhere. When starting up activities abroad, the business practices and habits of the new market should be taken into account. Egeria has a lot of experience with international expansions.
