Investment thesis
CoastCap is an industry-agnostic investment firm that backs founders building best-in-class companies from the prototype/trial stage through growth and pre-IPO deals. Drawing on the team's experience as founders, financial engineers and transaction lawyers, the firm provides guidance on scaling, fundraising and team-building while letting companies remain founder-controlled and avoiding involvement in day-to-day operations. It is especially interested in companies that add value through automation, technology or applied science. Although rooted in Central Europe, CoastCap invests across any business-friendly jurisdiction and pursues both direct and co-investment opportunities alongside a network of buyout managers, private capital managers and capital allocators.
