About Fortpark Group
Fortpark Group was founded by investors who wanted a firm small enough to know every company it owns and ambitious enough to take those companies much further. Our partners have led acquisitions across Europe and sold businesses to some of the largest strategic buyers in their sectors.
Our Values
Conviction.
We back a small number of companies each year and give each one a large share of our time. Follow-on capital is reserved from the day we invest.
Plain dealing.
Founders hear our view early, including the parts they may find uncomfortable. Honest feedback in the first meeting saves months of friction later.
Shared stakes.
Management teams invest alongside us on comparable terms wherever possible. When the business does well, its leaders share in the result.
Ambition with judgement.
We like big moves: a first acquisition abroad, a new product line, a doubling of capacity or a sale to a global buyer. Each move is tested against the numbers before we commit.
Where Our People Come From
The Fortpark Group team draws on careers that started outside private equity, giving us a wide knowledge base. Between us we have worked in:
That mix lets a founder discuss a refinancing in the morning and a pricing review in the afternoon with the same people. We work daily in both English and German.
