Findos Investor

What Findos Investor does

Findos Investor is a Munich-based, independent mid-market private equity firm founded in 2006 that invests exclusively in the German Mittelstand. The firm provides growth capital and succession solutions to mid-sized companies, typically family-owned businesses with revenues in the €50M-€500M range, operating across Germany and broader Europe (Denmark, Italy, Norway). Findos differentiates itself by sourcing capital exclusively from renowned German family-owned companies, creating cultural alignment between its LPs, portfolio management teams, and target companies.

Since inception, Findos has completed more than 100 transactions and currently maintains a portfolio generating over €800M in combined annual revenue and supporting more than 4,500 employees. Active portfolio companies span healthcare and vaccination services (European LifeCare Group, Careforce), industrial manufacturing (OMB Saleri), mobile IT and printing solutions (Lexit, CELLULAR), IT consulting (MAIT Gruppe), and consumer/lifestyle (JOLI, Mos Mosh, Rhenoflex). The firm typically takes wholly-owned positions and engages actively in operational transformation alongside management.

Findos's business model is built on traditional private equity economics — management fees and carried interest on funds backed by German family-office capital — combined with a relationship-driven, network-based GTM motion. Deal sourcing is conducted through direct enterprise outreach, referrals from the Mittelstand network, and a small Munich-based team (11-50 employees). The firm does not develop technology products; its value proposition is capital provision paired with operational know-how, international network access, and trusted partnership for succession and growth situations.

Product overview

Findos Investor is a German private equity firm that invests in mid-sized companies (mittelständische Unternehmen) during growth phases or succession situations. Rather than offering a technology product or software platform, the firm provides capital, expertise, and network access to its portfolio companies. The company does not develop or sell distinct technology products, modules, or SaaS offerings. Its portfolio includes European LifeCare Group (vaccination services), JOLI (social media agency), OMB Saleri (valve technology), and Lexit (Mobile IT and printing solutions), but these are portfolio company investments, not Findos's own products or services.
