Eos Capital Partners holds final close for debut fund

MVision acted as placement agent on the fundraise, while Clifford Chance provided legal advice.

The fundraising process began in February 2019.

Prior to raising the fund, Eos made investments on a deal-by-deal basis. The firm acquired industrial automation business Variotech in October 2016, followed by data software company CSP in November 2017 and business training services provider MST in July 2018.

Partners Peter Winkler, Philipp Wegener and Thomas Röhrl founded Eos in 2015. Winkler previously worked at BCG and EQT, while Wegener has prior experience at EQT, Hg and JP Morgan. Röhrl has a background in the technology sector, specialising in digitalisation strategies.

Investors
The fund's LP base comprises institutional investors from Europe and the US, including the European Investment Fund, as well as private individuals, family offices and funds-of-funds. Eos's management team has also made a significant commitment, according to a statement.

Investments
The fund intends to acquire majority stakes in DACH-based Mittelstand companies with EBITDA of €1.5-6m, revenues of €5-50m and an EV of €10-60m. It will focus on sectors including business services, industrial technology, software, healthcare and consumer goods.

The vehicle will write equity tickets of €5-30m. Eos also plans to make add-on acquisitions for its platform investments as part of their growth strategy, which can be smaller than its EBITDA target for its platform investments.
