Paragon Partners is an independent private equity company. We invest in mid sized companies with a proven and sustainable business model. Our investments are primarily in the German speaking region but our perspective is international. Our success is borne out of our ability to close acquisitions. Clarity of purpose enables us to identify and pursue only suitable proposals. Once we are committed to a company, we engage with vigour and dedication. We invest in businesses across a number of sectors. We believe that there are attractive business models in many different industries. We thoroughly strive to understand the specifics of the sectors we engage in. Ultimately, however, we select attractive business models with significant operational value creation potential and back outstanding management teams, not sectors. Companies that we invest in should typically meet the following criteria: - Headquarters in Germany, Austria or Switzerland. - Attractive market / industry outlook. - Fundamentally sound and sustainable business model. - Significant identified, realizable operational value creation. We typically make majority investments. We are an active shareholder and we always hold board seats. We seek to support like-minded, entrepreneurial management teams in building better businesses. Our investors are family offices, private individuals and institutional investors who share our investment philosophy.
