Venture Capital
VC targets early to mid phases, high growth potential, often tech and innovative business models. Ticket sizes typically €1–20m. VC expects strong scaling and often exit orientation within 5–10 years.
Private Equity
PE invests often in established companies with stable cashflow. Buy-and-build, turnaround or growth financing. Larger tickets, longer holding period. PE brings operational experience and industry network.
The right choice
Phase, size, sector and financing needs decide. An M&A advisor with knowledge of both worlds helps identify the right investor type and optimally prepare the round.
