Oakley Capital expands into Germany with Munich office

The Munich office will be led by Ralf Schremper, a partner who joined the firm in 2017. Schremper will lead a dedicated German-speaking investment team focused on the consumer, education and TMT sectors.

Although UK-based until now, Oakley is no stranger to the DACH region. Current portfolio companies in Germany include Schülerhilfe, a provider of after-school tuition, and Career Partner Group, a private higher-education and personnel development business. Realised investments include online dating service Parship Elite, and Verivox, a price comparison website for the energy sector. Both were sold this year, with IRRs of 118% and 44% respectively.

In Switzerland, Oakley acquired web server and website administration platform Plesk from US parent company Parallels Group last year, in a deal giving the business an enterprise value of $105m.
