We are currently investing our second fund (€700m, 2024 vintage), having fully invested our first fund (€440m, 2019 vintage).

We are partners in the truest sense of the word, backing the vision of founders and CEOs, and supporting companies on their unique journeys.

We firmly believe that our role is to support management teams in the execution of their vision, because successful entrepreneurs know how to run their businesses. We will support and advise, not over-engineer, complicate or interfere. Private equity firms do not run businesses, entrepreneurs do.

 


Proven investors with shared values:


We are a proven team of entrepreneurially minded private equity investors with experience across a range of sectors globally. Our values include intellectual curiosity, empathy, openness and a shared pursuit of excellence. CGE is fully independent and wholly owned by its partners.

Flexible capital:


Our investors have backed us with a flexible mandate, allowing us to tailor how we partner with management teams. We typically hold investments for 3-5 years, however where founders or management teams are seeking a flexible, longer-term partner, the investment period can be significantly longer.

Supported by experienced operators:


Private equity works best when operator talent combines with investing talent. That’s why CGE was built to provide more than just capital, with a team and network that offers proven experience of creating value across a wide range of functions.
