ABOUT US

A Leading Entrepreneurial Private Equity Investment Firm Focused on South-East Asia and EUROPE

Founded in 2012, Hera Capital has deployed US$50M into strategic and established technology company investments within the South-East Asian and European regions. Since 2021, Hera Capital has partnered with Shift4Good - an Article 9 fund under the European Union Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation - to refocus on impact investments in South-East Asia and Europe that can contribute to decarbonization of the mobility sector. Hera Capital no longer invests directly in companies. Hera Capital provides high-touch support to its portfolio companies, leveraging its seasoned entrepreneur-minded investment team and external networks of value-add partners. Its portfolio companies also enjoy high growth potential and are either established, or looking to accelerate in South-East Asia and Europe.

Our DNA

We are a team of entrepreneurs with a strong track record and substantial experience in identifying, investing in, operating, growing, adding value to and exiting leading small-to-mid sized companies within the South-East Asian and European regions. We combine significant private equity, strategic consulting, hands-on business development, corporate finance and entrepreneurship experience, with a broad value-added Asian and European network.

Our Mission

We focus on providing passionate entrepreneurs with the tools to transform their companies into leading market players by implementing best practices, sharing our commercial experiences, opening up our networks, creating strategic value and working closely with co-investors who display a similar interest in fast-growing and high-potential small-to-mid sized companies within the South-East Asian and European region.

STRATEGY

Together with our partner, Shift4Good, WE INVEST A FIRST CHECK OF €3M TO €5M INTO COMPANIES WITH SOLUTIONS THAT CAN DECARBONIZE THE MOBILITY INDUSTRY. WE FOCUS ON COMPANIES IN SOUTH-EAST ASIA and EUROPE AT THE SERIES A-B STAGE.

We invest in high growth potential innovative companies which are established in South East Asia or Europe and looking to expand their business activities, in the South-East Asian or European region.

We invest in companies we believe we can add significant value to. This defines the foundation of our strategy.

We invest in sectors we understand well.
We have experience and an extensive track record in the Mobility, Technology, Circular Economy, Food Tech and Agri Tech sectors, either as key executives (CEO, CFO, COO), strategic advisors or as private equity investors. We have extensive networks of value-add partners and experts that can be activated on demand board to support our portfolio companies’ management teams.


We are disciplined in selecting our portfolio companies because we aim to provide meaningful value to each and every one of them.
We use our in-house Investor Readiness scorecard to screen our deal-flow. This process leads to scoring each pillar according to precise criteria that allows us to assess where the company stands, the ability of the team to scale up and its willingness to introduce changes to deliver its business plan.


We partner with elite entrepreneurs.
We support talented, passionate and ambitious entrepreneurs who have a deep understanding of their business, the willingness to bring on board pro-active investors and a genuine desire to continuously do things better.

We are hands-on investors.

It is relatively easy for great entrepreneurs to find capital; we bring much more than just capital to the entrepreneurs we partner with.

Our “Investor Readiness” scorecard allows us to identify the specific areas for improvement on each  pillars and to suggest action plans through the launch and execution of a limited number of key workshops.

We also co-create an environmental impact business plan with our portfolio companies to ensure sustainability objectives are met.

We then assist the top management teams with the execution of each workshop and the definition and monitoring of key and relevant OKRs. We systematically support our companies on inclusion of considerations of biodiversity, carbon footprint and social issues; these are domains in which we have significant knowledge.

We continuously help our companies to structure themselves financially and operationally as they grow by sharing our substantial expertise across financial, M&A and corporate governance best-practices.

We help in the negotiation of key contracts with new counterparties and typically activate our broad and deep network to assist in the growth acceleration and expansion of our portfolio companies.
