AREV was founded by two former CINVEN executives who have invested together for more than 15 years. AREV I had a first and final closing early 2022 with over €300 millions in committments. AREV I invests in European private companies across 4 sectors (Digital & Technology, Niche Industrials, Healthcare, and B2B Services), with a relative value approach. We seek companies with EBITDA typically ranging from €5m to €10m, operating in growing sectors, which we can scale both organically and by acquisitions. Equity tickets range from €25 to €75m. We have an active ownership style, and aim to unlock value in SMEs through multiple levers (strategy, organization, talent, processes, M&A). We are highly selective of the companies we invest in, and seek to build a concentrated portfolio of 6-8 companies per fund.
