Hi, I‘m Martin.

INVESTOR, BUSINESS ENTHUSIAST, MULTIPOTENTIALITE

Martin Hanke

I am looking to buy family or founder owned businesses located in Europe or the US.

My goal is to build upon the strong foundation of an enduring business. Every company was built to fulfill a purpose and a dedicated need. It has grown a team of people that work together to make others lives a little better every day. 

I believe it is our moral obligation to preserve and grow what has been established over the years.

I want to help business owners find a meaningful long term home for their business and find opportunities for their team to grow alongside the business as well. 

My Investment Approach

I am not an investment trust or a private equity shark. I’m looking to acquire & grow enduring family or founder owned businesses and to grow teams and people. I value honest and transparent communication, respectful and cooperative interaction. I know that great deals are partnerships not transactions.

My Acquisition Criteria

I am looking to buy family or founder owned businesses located in Europe that ideally

  • are at least 10 years in business
  • have between 2.5 – 25 Mio € in Top-Line Revenue
  • have a 2-digit Profit Margin (EBITDA) – could be less in asset heavy industries
  • have at least 10 employees

My acquisition criteria are industry agnostic. I have a background in the IT industry – that is my backyard. But I am open to having a look at any industry. There are so many exciting businesses that I don’t want to exclude any specific industry.
