1 - Our model

Partech International selects the most promising companies and actively supports its portfolio. We have been working together for many years and therefore collaborate throughout the investment lifecycle of the portfolio companies. Our seasoned industry experts uniquely leverage a global network with international sourcing and due diligence abilities. This unique approach of international collaboration allows us to "think globally and act locally" which adds immense value to our ambitious Entrepreneurs.

2 - History and Track Record

Over our nearly 30-year history, our proven cross-border cooperation has been key in building innovative start-ups into leading companies. Our cooperation with a long established relationship in San Francisco has enabled us to select the best possible exit routes, as proven by numerous successful M&As and IPOs done in the US.

Venture Capital funds are measured by their performance and past investment successes, and at Partech we are proud of having assisted over 100 portfolio companies with their successful exits. We have been actively involved and instrumental in over 30 IPOs and more than 60 trade-sales. Some of our noteworthy past investments included Ascend, Business Objects, Cadence, Cartesis, Informatica, ISDNet, Pentasafe, Q-Layer, Quinstreet, Softway, Travelprice, Vignette, Visicu, etc.

3 - Pro-active hands-on approach

We work very closely within Partech but also with our Entrepreneurs. We like to get our hands dirty even if that means longer work hours. We are not simply a financial investor who you will only see once every 2 months for the Board meetings but rather someone with who you will be in constant contact. Regular meetings and phone conversations nurture an open dialogue on important issues such as strategy and operational challenges but also help foster a close relationship between the Entrepreneur and our Investment Partner.

Typically we are involved in recruiting key talent, assisting in specific business development missions, defining and fine-tuning the strategy and planning future financing rounds. In addition, we also believe in the network effect of our company portfolio and therefore we pro-actively assist in connecting our individual companies and encourage them in working together whenever feasible.
