TVM Capital is a global venture and growth capital firm with a 25 year operating track record. From our headquarters in Munich, and our offices in Boston and most recently also New York, we have financed more than 240 emerging companies in technology and the life sciences. During the last 15 years we have become increasingly specialized in these two attractive high-growth sectors. Our key objective as investors is to enhance company growth by harnessing the power to innovate at all levels – technological, strategic, marketing and geographical - incorporating effective international management and securing adequate financial backing.
The major objective of our investment strategy is to create, foster and grow businesses that ultimately have access to scientific and technological resources, management talent and venture and growth capital in all the markets in which they decide to compete. We back companies that have the will, the determination and the chance to develop into significant players or leaders in their markets. We believe in the people and projects we back and are prepared to take strong leadership positions and a long-term view. Creating real partnerships with entrepreneurs and management teams has often helped us overcome times of adversity and has contributed greatly to our ability to deal successfully with challenges.
Our major investment strategy
We have long been a leader in international investing—unafraid to bridge our technical and financial expertise with opportunities beyond our original regional focus. From our European base we first expanded into the United States which is the most mature market for the technologies and products of our companies and which offered the largest domestic market and hence growth opportunities. Today certain emerging markets in Asia and the Middle East are increasingly coming to the foreground as future growth opportunities.
