Entrepreneurial capital
for entrepreneurs,
by entrepreneurs
Legacy is a family-run investment company that sees itself as a long-term home for independent, medium-sized market leaders.
Rooted in the SME sector, we think like entrepreneurs and understand owner-managed companies.
As a family business, we think in generations and act accordingly.
Free from rigid guidelines, we invest flexibly, with a long-term perspective, and we take an entrepreneurial approach.
We invest in Legacies
PORTFOLIO
Legacy Partners is led by Christopher von Wedemeyer, the founder of DrSmile (600 employees, 10 countries, +€200m turnover).
We are entrepreneurs and support in internationalization, the expansion of sales and digital acquisition channels as well as the digitalization of workflows and processes.
As part of an entrepreneurial family from Baden-Württemberg, which founded the traditional family business Gruber + Weber, a leading paper mill in the region, we are deeply rooted in the medium-sized business sector and understand the needs of owner-managed companies.
Entrepreneurial capital – long-term growth instead of short-term profits. The focus is on the continued existence of the company, the “legacy” — not a quick exit. We think in terms of generations, not quarters. As “strategic partners at eye level,” we not only provide capital but also hands-on support.
Legacy Partners supports medium-sized family businesses in the DACH region with flexible and patient capital. Sustainable long-term thinking is our guiding principle: together with the management, we aim to sustainably increase sales and profitability, while preserving the entrepreneurial legacy across generations.
Our autonomy enables us to act quickly and decisively — free from bureaucratic hurdles. With flexible financing structures and an experienced team of professionals, we provide individual and targeted support for succession situations, management buy-outs, and complex company spin-offs.
