Dupuis Investment

What Dupuis Investment does

Dupuis Investment GmbH is a Berlin-based private market investment boutique founded in 1998, managing in excess of EUR 2.5 billion in assets under management across Real Estate and Alternative Investments. The firm combines principal investment strategies with actively managed alternative asset expertise, organized into four verticals: Real Assets (operated through subsidiary platforms Deutsche Asset One and Berlin Income One, including the Home in Berlin alternative accommodation brand), Innovation (deep-tech venture capital co-investments with funds such as Lunar Ventures, 2150, Atlantic Labs, and Microtraction, alongside direct investments such as Gropyus, Wonder, Arbio, Raus.life, Flexport, Turo, and Dapper Labs), Entertainment & Sports (NBA Africa, The Program NYC), and Impact (Corporate Impact Fund and Madiba Social Impact GGmbH).

The underlying operating model relies on deep in-house verticalization across Fund, Portfolio, Investment, Asset, Capex, and Property Management, with segment specialists in Real Estate, Innovation, and Impact. The firm deploys proprietary capital alongside investor capital, generating revenue through a combination of alternative asset management fees on bespoke mandates to institutional investors and family offices, principal investment returns from exits and appreciation, and equity participation in co-investments. Its go-to-market is enterprise field sales: bespoke, relationship-driven mandates to a select client base of pension funds, insurers, sovereign wealth funds, family offices, and corporate capital allocators, with no retail or self-serve distribution.

The firm is founder-led under Managing Director Frank Dupuis, with Investment Manager Eliot Dupuis focused on entertainment and sports. Geographic concentration is primarily DACH (Germany) for real estate operations, with stated strategic ambitions across an international footprint of Alpha Cities (NYC, LA, London, Paris, Madrid, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Prague, Warsaw) and select emerging markets including West Africa. Recent strategic activity in 2025–2026 includes the CAERUS Debt Investments AG exit via CapMan Plc, co-investment in Wonder's $600M round led by Google Ventures, Arbio's $36M Series A led by Eurazeo, and entry into West African agricultural project development via Brahms Agro-Industries.
