Description

Wille Finance AG is a prominent multi-family office based in Zürich, Switzerland, specializing in long-term oriented investments across various asset classes. Their core areas of focus include private equity, real estate, digital media, and listed assets. As a sophisticated financial entity, Wille Finance distinguishes itself through a strategic approach that combines capital deployment with active engagement in its portfolio companies, aiming to foster sustainable growth and value creation.

Within its private equity arm, Wille Finance primarily targets growth companies and established businesses that demonstrate proven business models and significant expansion potential. They are particularly interested in companies that have already achieved market traction and are poised for scaling. The firm typically deploys first cheques ranging from CHF 2 million to CHF 10 million, which translates to approximately USD 2.32 million to USD 11.6 million based on recent exchange rates. This investment range allows them to support a diverse set of companies, from those seeking Series A or B funding to more mature businesses requiring growth capital. Wille Finance adopts an active investor stance, often seeking board representation to provide strategic guidance and leverage their extensive network.

While their primary geographic focus is the DACH region (Germany, Austria, and Switzerland), Wille Finance also explores compelling investment opportunities across other European markets. Their portfolio reflects a diverse range of sectors, including fintech, health tech, and consumer goods, exemplified by their participation in a CHF 10 million Series B round for a medical technology company. The firm's commitment to long-term partnerships underscores its strategy, as they seek to build enduring value rather than pursuing short-term exits. This patient capital approach makes them a suitable partner for founders and management teams focused on sustainable development.
