Our approach to value creation post-investment
usually consists of 3 key pillars:

01
&

partnering with the management to identify and implement operational efficiency initiatives (i.e. supply chain & procurement activities, production processes, digitalization etc);

02
>

securing investment capital to accelerate growth (i.e. M&A, adding capacity, sales & marketing, product development, etc);

03
+

helping enhance management systems and capabilities (i.e. budgeting & reporting, IT systems, organizational development etc);

By targeting high-growth markets in Romania, Bulgaria and Croatia, we benefit from the rapid economic development of these countries. Our investment mandate centers on Romania, with at least 75% of our fund's capital dedicated to opportunities in this region.

With more than 20 years of experience in building and developing entrepreneurial companies, we've worked across a wide range of industries including business services, healthcare, retail, technology, media, energy, food processing, construction materials, consumer goods, and financial services and have navigated multiple exit strategies, from strategic investors and private equity funds to public listings.

Responsible
investing

Excellent returns for our investors are fully compatible with a responsible attitude towards all stakeholders of our portfolio companies.

At fund and portfolio company level we emphasize high ethical standards, giving us the practical benefit that it is also a strong value driver for businesses that we invest in. Our robust policy framework embodies BoldMind's fundamental values, while improving the performance of our companies. ESG procedures are developed and included in all stages of the investment cycle, from the selection of a transaction and its assessment, through building the company's value after completion of the investment.

Many SMEs have strong ties to their local communities. We aim to enhance their ability to give back to these communities through corporate social responsibility initiatives and supporting local collaboration. This creates a win-win situation, where thriving businesses contribute to the prosperity of their local communities, which in turn serve as the backbone of those businesses.
