Investments in the Mittelstand

Equity Capital

Adiuva Capital has been providing equity capital to medium-sized companies since 2011 – the mandate that is reflected in our name (Latin adiuvare: to help, support, assist). The focus of Adiuva is the acquisition of majority and minority stakes in  growing medium-sized companies primarily in German-speaking countries.

Long-term investments

Our investors are seasoned entrepreneurs. This allows us to take a long term view on value creation. We are never driven to sell our investments within a specific time frame. We are completely independent of institutional interests.

Statements of our
entrepreneurs about us

``We chose to work with Adiuva, because they have a family business tradition and have shown to be very fair throughout the investment process. This was also confirmed in the very successful years that followed their initial investment. With their financial and management support, we built up a strong real estate division, opened many new homes and significantly increased our turnover and earnings. As a result, in 2017, advita was voted ‘Operator of the Year.’``

Dr. Matthias Faensen

Felix Stiegeler

Founder & Managing Director Stiegeler Internet Services

``The Adiuva team is a great sparrings partner and enables us to have exchanges at eye level. They don't interfere in the day-to-day business operations but support the development of strategic framework parameters with their network and expertise.``

Dr. Achim Mayr

Advisory Board & former Managing Director Lebensbaum

``The cooperation with Adiuva has been productive from the beginning, as we share the same values. For me, it was important to have a new shareholder who understands the company and doesn't only see itself as a typical financial investor.``

Founder Lebensbaum

We look forward to talking with you.
