Focus statement

Momentum focuses on pioneering climate solutions and redefining leisure experiences, investing across biocommodities, advanced materials/nanoscience, life sciences and clean water with initial investments typically between €5 million and €100 million and an investment horizon of at least six years.

Value Add

Co-invests its own capital alongside partners—explicit 'skin in the game' philosophy and willingness to take majority/strategic positions (e.g., Perpetual Next).
Combines financial capital with operational support: expertise, network and time (hands‑on builder/scale-up partner).
Sector-spanning but impact-focused portfolio (climate/biocommodities, advanced materials, clean water, leisure) enabling cross‑platform plays (e.g., transatlantic advanced materials platform).
Long-duration, patient capital approach (investment horizon of at least 6 years) that accepts building value over time rather than seeking quick exits.
No-nonsense, impact-first positioning: promises simple structures and a stated focus on measurable impact rather than complex fee structures.
Employee-centered exit practice — explicitly involves venture leaders and employees in selecting new owners to preserve mission and jobs.
