Innesto Partners
Venture Capital and Private Equity Principals
Enabling motivated entrepreneurs to search, buy, and operate one private, profitable, small business
About us
Innesto Partners is a European focused fund investing in search funds and operating companies. Through the search fund model, Innesto Partners enables motivated entrepreneurs to search, buy, and operate a private, profitable, small business while solving succession issues for its owner. Such an entrepreneur is referred to as a “searcher,” and the vehicle used as a “search fund”. A searcher is someone relatively young but qualified to buy and run a small business. Typically, an MBA graduate with consulting, investment banking, VC/PE, and/or elevated operational work experience. Target industries are typically fragmented, growing and sizeable, and have straightforward operations which are easy to learn. Target companies typically have a clear competitive advantage, recurring and predictable revenues, >10% EBITDA margins, multiple avenues for growth, solid middle management, available financing, owners motivated to sell for non-business reasons, reasonable valuation expectations, and realistic liquidity options in the medium term. Innesto Partners have been in the searchers’ shoes as our team consists of ex-searchers, operators and financiers.

Excited to announce that we’ll be attending the Harvard Business School #ETA Conference this Saturday! 🎓 HBS holds a special place in our story, as one of our founders Joachim de Belgique, an HBS alum, conducted an independent project on search fund investing in Europe, which laid the groundwork for our fund today. If you’re attending, feel free to reach out—we’d love to catch up or meet around the conference. See you in Cambridge! #ETA #SearchFunds #HBS #Entrepreneurship
