Yttrium

Europe, Bayern, Germany, Munich

Description

Yttrium is a Munich-based growth equity investor specializing in B2B technology companies. Established as the private investment firm of the founders of TeamViewer, a highly successful German software company, Yttrium leverages this deep operational and entrepreneurial experience to support its portfolio. The firm focuses on profitable and rapidly growing B2B technology businesses, primarily within the DACH region, but also with an eye on broader European opportunities. Their strategy emphasizes long-term partnerships with strong management teams, aiming to accelerate growth and market leadership.

Yttrium seeks companies with proven business models, robust recurring revenues, and significant potential for expansion. They are not merely capital providers but active partners, offering strategic guidance, access to their extensive network, and operational expertise derived from their own entrepreneurial journeys. This hands-on approach is particularly valuable for founders navigating the complexities of scaling a B2B software or tech-enabled service business. Their patient capital allows for strategic decisions that prioritize sustainable growth over short-term exits.

Typically, Yttrium's initial investments range from €10 million to €50 million per company, which translates to approximately $10.8 million to $54 million based on recent exchange rates. This significant check size positions them to lead or co-lead substantial growth rounds for mature startups. Their portfolio includes notable names such as Xentral, a leading ERP software provider, and Usercentrics, a consent management platform, demonstrating their commitment to diverse yet complementary areas within the B2B tech landscape. The founders' prior success with TeamViewer, which was acquired for €870 million, underscores their capability to identify and scale high-value technology ventures.
