Working approach

Everything starts with a personal touch

VADO has a long-term vision

VADO invests in a company in order to grow it further. Unlike investors with a fund structure that aim to sell the company again within a few years, VADO invests for the long term, so there is no exit pressure. It is precisely for this reason that we believe it is important that there is a good fit with our focus, culture and entrepreneurship. This provides the best foundation for plotting the course to the future together, for building success and value creation.

Getting acquainted over a cup of coffee
It starts with an appointment to get acquainted and have a cup of coffee together. An entrepreneur prefers to sell a company to an investor who treats it with respect and wants the company to continue to grow in the long term. Often you can sense if there is a match in the first conversation. The next step is that we bring the entrepreneur into contact with other people in our companies so that they can form a picture of the cooperation with VADO.
Together with the companies we invest in, we strive to grow and develop
VADO can help with this, for example by contributing capital, helping with investment decisions or contributing specific expertise that we have available within our group. The individual character of the company is always paramount here. We work on the basis of trust, respect and transparency.

VADO has a solid financial foundation that enables our companies to grow

Growth financing is possible. VADO’s reliability and good reputation often contributes to strengthening the relationship with external parties such as banks, suppliers and clients.
