Human Capital Strategy Fund
CF Capital’s Human Capital Strategy Fund is designed to maximize value creation through people. Unlike many private equity firms that prioritize financials, CF Capital focuses on human capital as a key driver of business performance. The fund selectively invests in a variety of opportunities, including build-ups, growth capital, rescue financings, and buyouts.
Clients may also leverage their existing assets through strategic divestitures, spin-offs, or partnerships, ensuring optimal value realization. CF Capital fosters collaborative, long-term partnerships aimed at delivering exceptional business performance.
Technology Fund
CF Capital’s Technology Fund applies a data-driven, analytical approach to investing across the technology value chain. Areas of investment include:
- Software: Cloud computing, security, embedded systems, APIs, and mobile applications
- Hardware: Communications infrastructure and technology service providers
- Blockchain: Early-stage development of transformative blockchain solutions
- AI & Big Data: Advanced AI models, big data processing, and predictive analytics
Since its inception, the firm has maintained a disciplined approach to technology investment, expanding into four primary strategies while managing multiple dedicated funds launched between 2003 and 2015. We are considered one of the early investors in Europe in the software and AI & Big Data field.
