Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Eisvogel Group?
Investment decisions are led by Founder and Managing Director Christophe Jungels-Winkler, who brings more than 15 years of private equity experience combined with operational board roles in his own industrial family business. He is supported by Director Andrew Schemmel, a former Fortress Investment Group associate with an MBA from London Business School.
Is Eisvogel Group structured as a fund or a holding company?
Eisvogel Group AG is structured as a private holding company, not a traditional closed-end private equity fund. This structure supports long-duration, even indefinite, ownership of portfolio businesses and aligns with its stated focus on family business succession and heritage preservation.
What size and type of companies does Eisvogel target?
The firm targets European businesses with EBITDA between €1 million and €5 million and enterprise values up to €50 million. Sectors of focus include B2B and B2C software, business services, industrial applications, automation and robotics, and healthcare. It considers full buyouts, minority growth positions, corporate carve-outs, and leadership succession transactions.
Where does Eisvogel Group invest geographically?
Eisvogel concentrates on companies based in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, the United Kingdom, and Ireland, with offices in London, Zug, and Milan to support local deal sourcing and portfolio operations.
How is Eisvogel different from a typical private equity firm?
Eisvogel deploys a family-business heritage and holding-company structure rather than a fund model. This enables indefinite hold periods and a people-first approach designed specifically for founder- and family-owned businesses navigating succession or seeking a minority growth partner who will not force a near-term exit.
