Investment Thesis
Moonbase Capital’s investment philosophy centers on the Search Fund model: backing ambitious entrepreneurs to acquire and grow established SMEs by combining the stability of private equity with the agility of venture capital. They prioritise operational value creation, long-duration stewardship and disciplined capital deployment (targeting SMEs with ~EUR 1–5m EBITDA), providing hands-on, experience-based guidance from the search phase through the early CEO months and building diversified exposure via a fund-of-search-funds approach.

Investment Focus
Who should take a closer look
Moonbase Capital is most relevant for founders raising Growth rounds in Professional Services, Healthtech, Logistics/Supply Chain, and Industrials, especially across Europe, Brazil, and Latin America, with public check-size signals around $550k.
Focus statement
They invest in SMEs through Search Funds across Europe (and select international markets such as Brazil), aiming to back many independent searchers and aggregate ownership of dozens of lower‑middle‑market companies (their stated target: ~40–50 SMEs / c.20–30 direct company investments via their Search Fund Squared vehicle).
Value Add
- Fund-of-search‑funds model branded as "Search Fund Squared" to scale diversification and active engagement across many operators rather than a small PE-style portfolio.
- Operator-led team: founded by former SME leaders with "over 50 years of hands-on experience acquiring, leading and growing SMEs," emphasising practitioner operational support over purely financial sponsorship.
- Structured, hands-on support: "Led by founders who have built, operated, and exited businesses, we provide practical, experience-based guidance through regular check-ins and active support from the search phase through your early CEO months."
- Large advisory network: an Advisory Board of seasoned operators, investors and academics across 50+ industries to give searchers specialist, one-on-one support.
- Regional and market specialization: explicit focus on under‑penetrated, succession-driven lower‑middle markets (Europe, Brazil, DACH, Italy, etc.) and on deal structures adapted to local realities (e.g., vendor loans, earnouts, deferred payments in Brazil).
- Entrepreneur-first culture and LP engagement: they offer LPs the option to be actively involved and emphasise transparency and close partnerships with both investors and entrepreneurs.
