Rivean Capital is an active mid-market investor with office in Brussels. The investor was founded in 1982 and has been active in various sectors since then. There are over €3 billion assets under management and the fund has invested in over 250 companies to date. Potential investment targets should be based in the DACH region, have an enterprise value of €100-250M and have growth potential and positive cash flow. Portfolio companies are for example Agilitas Group or oystershell Laboratories. A well-known former investment in Switzerland was Spandex.

Update 2022: In 2022, Gilde Buy Out Partners was renamed Rivean Capital. In February of the same year, Gilde acquired MBK Fincom. MBK is an e-commerce company in various fields such as sports, fitness and garden furniture.

Update 2024: The investment professional Rivean recently began supporting Dataciders GmbH, one of the leading providers of data and analytics services in Germany. With capital and strategic expertise behind it, the IT company’s next growth phase is set to gain significant momentum.

Update 2023: Argos Wityu continues to push its strategic field of action in the direction of sustainability and will launch an impact fund in the future – at least that is what the PE investor is currently planning. Medium-sized companies from Europe are to be supported in their ESG transformation by the provision of capital. The ambitious goal is to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions of each portfolio company by at least 7.5 percent per year.
