OUR STRATEGY
We back ambitious businesses across fragmented markets.
Arbor Capital focuses on buy and build strategies in fragmented B2B industries across DACH (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) and the UK.
We partner with founders and management teams, combining investment experience with hands-on operational know-how. We focus on European SMEs ("Mittelstand”), where complexity, succession, and fragmentation create the opportunity to build enduring businesses.
We like partnering with companies at moments of succession or inflection points.
We bring a long-term mindset and ambition: not to optimise for sale, but to build category leaders.
OUR MODEL
How we add value
01
FOCUS
We identify attractive market segments in the European lower mid-market where risk is mispriced and platforms have value.
02
Building
We work hand in hand with our partners to build great companies and roll up our sleeves to support long-term value creation.
03
partnership
We enter into deep partnerships with our firms and partners. Success, we think, comes from true alignment — sharing risk, upside, and responsibility.
