Gennio enables next generation business leaders to own & operate the companies that look for great entrepreneurial successors
How we tackle the succession challenge
A growing number of well performing SMEs are facing business continuity challenges, driven by increasing number of owner-shareholders getting close to retirement and the lack of great succession options.
These companies are often great contributors to the economy and the labor market and without a proper solution their future is at risk.
Using both our own capital and funding from entrepreneurial investors, we buy out existing owners.
Together with a new, carefully selected Business Leader, we will realize the next leap of growth and impact to secure a bright future for the company.
The legacy of the company will be continued and secured.
The type of companies we are looking for
The importance of great business leaders
We believe that exceptional businesses are created by people and sustained through culture.
The companies we work with have been built with passion. To ensure their continued success, new leadership must bring the same level of commitment and energy.
Bringing in great business leaders that are capable of both owning and running these companies is key for the success after the company is transferred.
We meticulously select leaders who are not only ready to take on ownership but who also bring a proven track record of operational excellence, strategic vision, and the ability to inspire teams.
To ensure a seamless transition, we prioritize cultural fit. We spend significant time understanding the unique dynamics of each business and its people, ensuring the new leader is not just a successor, but a natural extension of the existing team
Our handover process is carefully managed, with the new owner-operator involved early and former management staying on for up to 12 months, ensuring a smooth and seamless transition.
About us

We all share a passion for operational investing, where hands-on support is required to unlock the full potential.
