The firm source deals exclusively through the partners' business and personal relationships. Investment decisions are taken during weekly meetings of the investment committee. Aurinvest invests in early-stage companies with high-growth potential and only in sectors where members of the investment committee have previous experience. They target businesses having significant external growth potential. Their investment criteria include management team quality, visibility within the sector, profitability or near profitability, and a clearly identified exit. The firm cooperates closely with three of their portfolio companies specialized in B2B services.
