Acton Capital Partners offers an outstanding platform for entrepreneurs: Over the past nine years, we have invested in more than 40 internet enabled companies. Acton Capital Partners offers an outstanding platform for entrepreneurs, as has been demonstrated by the success achieved with the BDV Fund for internet-enabled companies. With the Heureka Growth Fund we will continue to support our portfolio companies in their quest for expansion, whether through organic growth - achieved by expanding their international reach or consolidating existing markets - or by moving towards controlled growth by acquisition.
Past investments have featured a wide array of business models within the Internet and Mobile field with results that clearly exceeded industry benchmarks. We believe that our target sectors of Media, Platforms, and Retail will continue to thrive as a result of recent developments in technology.
Today, many technology-enabled companies face challenges related to their shareholder structure, strategic processes and operational and financial issues which prevent them from reaching the next growth stage. Founders or early-stage investors might want to diversify their investments while companies might be looking for new ways to grow while maintaining profitability. Teams might need additional expertise to develop a coherent roll-up or roll-out strategy, especially when seeking to expand internationally.
Meeting these challenges often requires a combination of new equity capital and external expertise. Acton Capital Partners provides both. After a thorough initial investment selection process, we foster value creation by supporting our partner companies in taking strategic as well as operational decisions, applying financial engineering conservatively and only if feasible. The informed entrepreneur will readily recognise the compelling attractions of this approach.
