GENUI GMBH

Investment decisions are led by the founders and managing partners: Rainer Marcinczak, Florian Hager, and Christian von Zydowitz. They operate with a lean team supplemented by external operating partners and advisors (public record).

GENUI sources deals through its network of family entrepreneurs and industry operators, as well as direct outreach to mid-cap European companies. The firm's multi-family structure gives it access to proprietary opportunities from the families themselves.

GENUI is a multi-family office — it manages capital for several families, not one. It operates more like a private equity firm in style, with control-oriented, long-hold direct investments, but retains the permanent-capital benefits of a family office.

GENUI makes both fund commitments and direct investments. Its direct equity and co-investment activity forms the core, but it also allocates to third-party private equity and real asset funds.

GENUI focuses on control or influential minority stakes in established mid-sized companies, typically in growth or buyout stages. It does not focus on early-stage venture. Holdings are long-term, often indefinite.

GENUI does not publicly list exclusions but its disclosed focus sectors — industrial tech, healthcare, software, climate tech, consumer — suggest it avoids early-stage biotech, crypto, and real estate development. The firm has not confirmed formal constraints.

The wealth origins of GENUI's families are not publicly disclosed. The firm attributes its capital base to a group of entrepreneurial German and European families, without naming specific individuals or branches.
