Global Operators Passionate about Value Creation in SMEs
Madje Capital is a private equity firm focused on the long-term stewardship of SMEs.
We partner with institutional investors and family offices to acquire and scale resilient, founder-owned businesses facing succession.
We seek to deliver stable, risk-adjusted returns by applying a hands-on, operationally intensive approach rooted in engineering, strategy, and pragmatic value creation.
We are committed to safeguarding the legacy of founders while creating enduring value for all stakeholders.
Our Approach
Operational Excellence
Optimizing core processes and prioritizing free cash flow generation.
People Empowerment
Investing in talent development and succession planning to build stronger, motivated teams.
Strategic Growth
Driving targeted expansion through organic and bolt-on strategies, backed by data.
Investment Approach
We focus on acquiring resilient, founder-owned businesses that are vital to the industrial and economic fabric. We seek opportunities where our hands-on operational expertise can create long-term value, especially in succession-driven contexts.
We invest in B2B small and mid-sized enterprises across food & agribusiness, manufacturing, and industrial services. These businesses typically generate €5–50 million in revenue and €1–7 million in EBITDA, with historical profitability.
We are particularly drawn to companies:
With retiring founders or family owners lacking a clear succession plan
Operating in Western or Southern Europe, with defensible market positions
Where we can align culturally with the management team and workforce
That demonstrate strong fundamentals and potential for operational enhancement or strategic growth
Our approach emphasizes partnership, legacy preservation, and disciplined execution
