Partnership
We offer partnership investment solutions to existing founders, owners and management teams.
Accelerating growth through partnership
Explore seeks to unlock attractive, untapped opportunities through its unique partnership approach with an ownership share typically ranging between 40-60%, targeting companies with strong fundamentals and growth opportunities . We invest with owners who want to continue their ownership, who do not want to cede control but rather are looking for a high value-add partner who can support them on their journey through the next phase of value-based growth.
Joint value creation plan
We develop a joint value creation plan with existing owners, board and management before any transaction focusing on the key levers to develop the company over a five to seven years horizon. This plan serves as the basis for the transaction and the shareholder agreement.
Balanced shareholder agreement
Based on our experience, we have developed a thoughtful approach to carefully balance the interests with our partners through coming years of joint ownership. These balancing principles are reflected in the shareholder and transaction agreement and are formed through transparent discussions and sharing of experiences pre transaction.
Best practice partnership governance
We have developed a best practice process to onboard and enhancing existing governance processes in the companies in which we invest to build on the existing while complementing with our strengths. We have a unique deal origination process, a well-defined investment process and a hands-on approach to value creation in our portfolio companies.
