Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Enki Capital?
Co-Founders and Managing Partners Joel Houmard and Alain Pittet lead the firm. The investment team also includes a Senior Associate and an Associate, with decisions supported by an Ecosystem of exclusive Senior Advisors and operational experts who guide portfolio companies post-acquisition.
What investment stages does Enki Capital typically target?
Enki targets profitable, lower mid-market buyouts. The firm focuses on established Swiss SMEs with annual revenues between CHF 5 million and CHF 50 million that require operational professionalization or succession solutions, rather than early-stage venture or growth equity.
Which sectors does Enki Capital explicitly focus on?
The firm invests in four sectors: IT, Healthcare, Business Services, and Consumer. It favors asset-light business models and companies with resilient, growing revenue bases.
Is Enki Capital structured as a typical private equity fund or does it operate differently?
Enki operates as a FINMA-regulated asset manager with a B-Corp certification, embedding sustainability and governance principles into its legal mandate. Unlike a traditional fund, it deploys an Ecosystem of embedded Senior Advisors who work inside portfolio companies to drive operational change, making it more of a hybrid between a PE firm and an operational consultancy.
What is Enki Capital's geographic mandate?
The firm invests exclusively in Switzerland. It mandates that portfolio companies be headquartered in the country and focuses its entire sourcing, operational support, and network on the Swiss domestic market.
