KOIS

What KOIS does

KOIS is a Brussels-headquartered impact investing private equity firm founded in 2010 by Charles-Antoine Janssen and François de Borchgrave. The firm manages a platform of four impact-focused private equity funds with combined assets under management of approximately €500 million, deploying capital into growth-stage enterprises across healthcare, education/skilling, and climate in Europe and India. Its fund vehicles comprise HealthKOIS and HealthQuad I & II (Indian healthcare platforms), Impact Expansion (€150M Western European growth equity for SMEs with equity tickets of €15–25M), and Tara India Fund IV (Indian SMEs with high societal impact). KOIS differentiates through a proprietary impact measurement framework, 100+ years of combined healthcare operating and clinical team experience, and a deal sourcing model in which 75% of HealthKOIS deals are proprietary. The firm earns revenue primarily through traditional private equity management fees and carried interest on its fund vehicles, targeting top-quartile risk-adjusted returns alongside measurable social and environmental outcomes. Operations are distributed across offices in Brussels, Paris, Mumbai, and New Delhi, with portfolio support including coordinated M&A activity such as the 2025 BeliVert-Ingelec-Batimont-Battery 4 Industry Belgian clean energy platform integration.
