Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Epoona Impact Invest?
Lothar Stadler and Werner Töpfl are the managing partners driving investment decisions. They lead a group of managers with over 20 years of operational experience, and the firm deploys senior advisors from its network to support due diligence and portfolio-company oversight.
How does Epoona Impact Invest source proprietary deal flow?
Epoona leverages the deep industrial networks of its senior partners and advisors across German-speaking Europe. The firm targets technology-oriented Mittelstand companies — often founder-led businesses facing succession challenges or scaling bottlenecks — and uses its operational reputation to access off-market opportunities.
What investment stages does Epoona typically target?
The firm focuses on established Mittelstand companies that need strategic repositioning, digitalisation, or growth capital. It also selectively backs B2B scale-up companies in complementary technology fields that can generate synergies with existing portfolio platforms. Seed-stage and pure-venture bets are not part of the disclosed mandate.
