We buy and invest in small but great companies

We created Anchor Ventures to be the best owner and partner for your business.

We’re entrepreneurs. We invest our own money and have no intention of selling. We prioritize employees and the company culture.

We’re especially interested in B2B manufacturing and DTC e-commerce. Here are some of the things we look for:

  • High-quality products and happy customers
  • Proof of concept and validated business model
  • Annual revenue of 500k to 5 million euro
  • Operational history of 2+ years
  • Talented and motivated team
