Our Approach

When we see major trends and structural changes happening in one of our core sectors, we set up and invest in platform companies/roll-up models to make concentrated and focused bets and acquisitions.

These platform companies offer centralized services and leadership – especially business development – and make most sense sectors where founders and innovators are often amazing innovators but lack the commercial or entrepreneurial skillset.

We have raised more than US$ 1 billion outside money in recent years for our various platform companies.

A few selected platform companies:

We take active minority stakes in listed companies mainly through IPOs & SPACs, but sometimes also later in a company’s life cycle.

We offer our listed companies the same attention and value-add as we give our venture portfolio.

Primarily, we initiate and sponsor our own SPACs – often together with strategic partners – focusing on certain high growth industries and/or regions.

Additionally, we invest in the SPACs of other sponsors, offering an entrepreneurial, long-term investor & partner who not only provides capital, but deal flow too.

A few selected portfolio companies:

Our Venture Capital fund Elevat3 Capital focuses on lead or co-lead investments in European tech companies across the Apeiron sectors.

The fund is managed by Christian Angermayer, Thomas Hanke and Dr. Marlon Braumann with Peter Thiel's Founders Fund as strategic partner.

A few selected portfolio companies:

With our flagship fund Presight Capital we follow a flexible, diversified approach, investing globally in the most ambitious founders, at any stage and any sector, always together with leading VCs.

Presight Partners is a fund-of-funds building a concentrated global portfolio of exceptional early-stage venture funds.

We leverage the Apeiron network and ecosystem to be a value additive investor and gain competitive access to top performing managers.

With Presight Partners, we exercise the same entrepreneurial approach to investing in funds as we do when investing directly in companies.

Our focus lies on first-time funds and emerging managers, to whom we want to be a long-term, reliable partner and investor.
