Investment Philosophy

Investment areas

We are active in multiple company stages and multiple industries.

Venture Capital

Our venture capital investments are designed to ignite growth, propel startups to new heights, and turn ideas into reality. 819 Evergreen Fund has a focus on early stage ventures with a focus on deep-tech, addressing societal challenges in key sectors like healthcare. Currently, the portfolio consists of companies active in categories such as med-tech, bio-tech, advanced materials and artificial intelligence. See our Venture Capital page for more information on our investment criteria.

Private Equity

We are dedicated to building and growing promising platform companies, organically and via add-on acquisitions. We invest in companies with strong market positions and where buy-and-build enables us to further accelerate growth and success. Our private equity activities have a focus on the themes of healthcare, technology, and leisure. See our Private Equity page for more information on our investment criteria.

General Investment Approach

While our investments in early stage ventures require a different investment analysis as our investments in more mature companies, similarities exist in the fundamentals. We place a strong emphasis on the expertise of (management)teams, a strong market position, and the added value we can bring.
