Our Investment Approach

What we look for in partnerships

In Dico, we are growth investors, seeking exceptional founders and strong management teams. We focus on scale up companies with proven products, scalable business models, and the potential to lead in an expanding market.

We take a thoughtful, analytical approach to every investment, diving deep into business fundamentals before committing. After investing, we work hand-in-hand with management to define a clear vision for sustainable growth and a strategic path to profitability.

Leveraging years of experience in scaling fast-growing companies, we focus on building long-term value and in collaboration with founders find the right timing for an exit.

So far, we have navigated through more than 50 exit events, with an average investment horizon of 4–6 years. From early investment to a successful exit, we focus on being a committed and value-adding partner supporting founder teams throughout the journey.

Our Contribution

How we contribute and why founders choose to partner with Dico

Fast, Flexible, and Founder-Focused

As a small private venture firm, we move fast and make decisions without unnecessary bureaucracy. Success starts with the right people—from the founding team to the key hires that drive growth. We work closely with management to strengthen leadership, expand teams, and build a board that supports long-term success.

Hands-On Support for Growth

We take an active role in supporting our portfolio companies, working closely with management to drive strategic growth. We help refine business strategy, make strategic partnerships and enter new markets. When it comes to M&A and exit planning, we guide companies through acquisitions, integrations, and successful exits. With broad experience and a large network, we provide hands-on support where it matters most.

Approachable and On Your Side

We take our work seriously—but not ourselves. We don’t believe in rigid hierarchies or one-size-fits-all approaches. We see ourselves as partners rather than gatekeepers, bringing a down-to-earth, approachable style to everything we do. Founders value our straightforward communication, mutual respect, and willingness to roll up our sleeves to solve challenges together.
