Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Rigeto?
The firm is led by Geschäftsführer (Managing Director) Dr. Richard Lenz. Rigeto's own materials emphasize a flat, team-oriented structure where professionals are involved across all stages of portfolio development, but Lenz is the sole publicly listed executive.
Does Rigeto participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?
Available evidence points to direct and platform-based investing. Rigeto's disclosed holdings — such as AndCompany, Empolis, OR Technology Group, and Matignon Gruppe — are operating companies, and the firm describes buy-and-build programs within existing platforms rather than passive fund commitments.
What investment stages does Rigeto typically target?
The firm works on succession transitions, growth-stage development, and buy-and-build strategies. Its succession practice focuses on founder-owned German Mittelstand companies, while the growth and buy-and-build tracks target organic expansion and add-on acquisitions to accelerate scale.
Which sectors does Rigeto explicitly avoid?
Rigeto publishes three active sector tracks — medical technology/health, software/security/IT, and industry/consumer/services — and does not disclose investing outside of these verticals. Capital-intensive industries such as heavy manufacturing, energy infrastructure, or financial services do not appear in its portfolio.
