Functions as a private equity fund

Capricorn Partners invests in companies located in Europe. The firm focuses on sectors such as digital, health and clean technologies. It participates in early and growth stage capital transactions.

ITP-Management is a hands-on manager which invests in ICT companies primarily in the Benelux and surrounding countries. They also consider investments in other European countries, Israel and the US, participating in a syndicate where a local venture company takes the lead. The firm invests in early-stage and more mature companies, seeking to invest in those with a clearly demonstrable and growing market potential, wide (preferably global) market appeal, a qualified management team and protected technology offering competitive advantages versus alternative products. ITP-Management takes minority stakes in their investee companies, aiming to be a supportive partner of the management team, a sounding board and an extension of the company's network. When they lead a syndicate, they require a seat on the investee company board of directors. For all their investments, they seek to divide the total investment into a series of staggered steps. The firm provides their investee companies with a range of support activities including helping to make strategic decisions, recruiting key personnel, organizing mergers, acquisitions, licensing or co-operation agreements and financing the growth of the enterprise. From the beginning of their investment, ITP-Management pro-actively determines an exit strategy with the board and other shareholders of the investee company. While they prefer to exit investments through an IPO, they also consider other exit possibilities.
