Nomainvest
Nomainvest was established in 1997 by the Noël family in Eupen, Belgium. It functions as a multi-family office providing investment management and advisory services focused on wealth preservation across generations. The firm structures portfolios that combine direct equity stakes with advisory support on legal and succession matters. Nomainvest executes direct co-investments and SPVs in buyouts, growth equity, Series A rounds, and startups. Confirmed positions include IsoHemp, where it co-invested with Cheniclem Private Equity, SRIW, and JCMLA Holding, and SCHUMAG Precision GmbH alongside Active Capital Company and TPPI GmbH. Additional holdings cover Quip Holding with Luxempart S.A. and e-peas with Otium Capital and the EIC Fund. Activity centers on Europe, primarily Belgium and Germany. Asset classes span private equity, distressed situations, and early-stage technology. The firm maintains a compact team without disclosed headcount or additional offices beyond Eupen. It participates in regional events such as the Family Business Award of Excellence 2025, where Catherine Noël served as jury member. Nomainvest also appears as a partner of HEC Liège and shares platform access with the Aliaxis family through Trusted Family. No adjacent philanthropic vehicles or club memberships are recorded. Nomainvest maintains a hybrid structure as both capital provider and active shareholder. It supplies governance support and growth capital to portfolio companies while co-investing with regional players such as Wallonie Entreprendre and S-UBG. This model ties deployment decisions to operational involvement rather than passive fund commitments.
