One Peak

Co-Founders and Managing Partners David Klein and Humbert de Liedekerke Beaufort set investment policy and sit on the firm’s investment committee. They are supported by Partners Christoph Mayer and Roni Elchahal (Head of Capital Partnering), alongside a team of principals and vice presidents. Day-to-day deal execution is led by the investment team, but committee-level decisions rest with the managing partners.

One Peak invests directly into operating companies and does not operate as a fund-of-funds. The firm makes majority and minority equity investments, typically as a lead or co-lead investor, and reserves capital for follow-on rounds. There is no evidence of One Peak allocating to external venture or growth funds.

One Peak targets expansion and late-stage growth rounds, including management buyouts and buy-and-build strategies. The firm requires a minimum run-rate revenue of $5 million — with no profitability requirement — and writes equity checks between $15 million and $150 million. Early-stage seed or Series A companies fall outside its mandate.

One Peak invests exclusively in software and technology-enabled businesses; it does not back hardware, biotech, or consumer internet companies. Within software, it favors B2B models over B2C and focuses on verticals where the firm’s value-creation team can drive enterprise sales, partnerships, and international expansion.

One Peak welcomes co-investment from select limited partners and peer growth firms on a deal-by-deal basis. The firm retains lead-investor rights when it structures a round, but large checks — up to $150 million — occasionally require syndication with other growth-stage specialists. The managing partners maintain final control over syndicate composition.

One Peak supplements traditional origination with an internal data and AI platform built to surface investment signals before companies formally run a process. The firm’s Head of Data and AI leads an engineering team that combines automation workflows with machine learning to scan the European and Israeli software markets. This infrastructure — alongside the founding partners’ decade-long networks — gives One Peak early visibility into bootstrapped scale-ups and bootstrapped exits.

One Peak employs a dedicated, in-house value-creation bench that includes former C-level operators focused on talent acquisition, sales, marketing, and go-to-market (GTM) strategy. These operators — not external consultants — embed with portfolio management teams to lead executive searches, build partner ecosystems, and prepare companies for IPO or strategic sale. The team’s existence is a deliberate structural choice to compensate for the operating gaps at founder-led software firms.
