We are an entrepreneur-led and partnership-based investment company based in Vienna. INVEST EQUITY was founded by us in 1998. INVEST EQUITY is wholly owned by three partners who run the business operationally. We are completely independent.

For more than 20 years, we have been intensively involved with companies in the SME sector. We know their innovative strength and believe in their great potential. In the same way, we know the key success factors and understand the needs of SMEs. We invest our own private capital in successful SME-companies. For large transactions, we regularly work with first-class national and international institutional investors.

We have a long-standing, tried and tested and excellent network to companies, investors and managers and financial institutions. With over 70 years of combined experience and best practice in private equity and venture capital, INVEST EQUITY is one of the most sustainable management teams in all German-speaking countries.
