GenLight was founded on the belief that shareholders and stakeholders have the same goal: maximize value creation in a socially responsible and ethical way.  

We believe a strong founder-led culture with a professional management team is the recipe for the sustained value creation.

As entrepreneurs ourselves, we understand the obstacles founders face when scaling a business. We also know that it takes more than a good business plan to become a market leader. That’s why we set out to find opportunities to work with founders and existing management teams to co-create value and build a true partnership.

Our integrated approach combining a strong investment thesis and a pragmatic operational playbook will help you build on the successful foundation you’ve created and unlock full potential of your business. 

Value Co-Creation

Our value creation plan is typically built on 3 core fundamentals: 

1 - enhance organizational capabilities,

2 - identify and implement operational efficiencies,

3 - execute growth strategy.

Continuity in strategy and culture

Our goal is to focus organizational efforts, enabling growth of your business and your people in a non-disruptive way.

Focused Sourcing

45+ years of combined experience in business scaling and turn-around management provides us with foundation for a deep-dive research of specific business segments. The research is followed by development of strategic and investment theses as well as execution plan. This focused process allows control over deal flow by aligning sourcing efforts with our sector views.
