For over 25 years, Indigo has partnered with entrepreneurs, management teams, and families to help them regain control of their businesses and unlock their full growth potential.
Specializing in lower mid-cap companies, with investments ranging from €7 million to €40 million, Indigo is dedicated to transforming high-potential SMEs into leading European mid-sized companies.
Indigo is also deeply committed to strengthening European economic sovereignty. By supporting the development of resilient, competitive, and locally anchored businesses, we actively contribute to building a stronger and more autonomous European industrial and technological base. We invest in companies that play a strategic role in their ecosystems and help reduce dependencies, foster innovation, and reinforce Europe’s capacity to shape its economic future.
Ambitious entrepreneurs seeking to regain control of their businesses (MBOs)
Whether through the exit of an investment fund, a founder-to-manager transition, a generational family succession, or broader capital restructuring, Indigo partners with project leaders to deliver flexible and highly accretive capital solutions. Our objective is to restore ownership and control to those best positioned to drive the company’s next phase of growth — while anchoring value creation within Europe.
Transformative growth initiatives (Growth)
Whether growth is organic or driven by transformative acquisitions, Indigo offers both financial and operational support to ambitious executives aiming to elevate their companies to the next level while minimizing dilution. In doing so, we support the emergence of European champions capable of competing globally while maintaining strong regional roots.
Embedded in Indigo’s DNA is a commitment to supporting companies beyond their domestic markets, enabling them to expand across borders and achieve a truly European dimension — a key lever in reinforcing European integration and sovereignty.
To maximize entrepreneurs’ exposure to equity value creation, Indigo primarily invests alongside them through bond instruments and, to a lesser extent, through equity. This approach provides significant flexibility, as bonds may be redeemed at any time — unlike equity capital.
Indigo embraces a constructive and pragmatic investment philosophy. We work in close partnership with management teams within a streamlined governance framework, typically structured around a dedicated strategic committee.
Indigo stands alongside entrepreneurs at pivotal stages of their company’s development. Acting as a trusted sparring partner, we support them in shaping strategic direction, accelerating growth, expanding internationally, and strengthening operational performance — while contributing to a more sovereign, resilient, and competitive European economy.
