H2 Equity Partners, Sherpa Capital and Auctus Capital Parters have teamed up to create Optimum Alliance, a new network of mid-market private equity investors in Europe.
The Alliance covers key European private equity markets and consists of partners with a proven track-record of value creation and facilitates accelerating European rollouts and privileged access to scarce resources in deal origination and transactions.
The objective of the Optimum Alliance is to create a platform of independent – high performing – firms that can share best-practices, investment experiences, cooperate on deal situations as and when appropriate and allow co-investment.
A statement from the founding partners says: “Portfolio companies of Optimum Alliance members benefit from “local access” to the extensive networks of the Alliance’ members. Many of the portfolio companies have extensive export operations or are looking to expand cross-border. Facilitating this and supporting their management teams has been one of the key drivers for the establishment of the Optimum Alliance.
“As we strengthen our cooperation, we will look to gradually expand the Optimum Alliance with relevant new members – that do not compete with any of the existing members – and share our focus on our market segment and proven out-performance.
“The founding partners believe that there is a significant value add in creating the Optimum Alliance and are excited to build the alliance and remain at the forefront of high-return private equity investing.”
