Who we are
Graf Kapitalage was founded in 2019 by Daniel Graf, bringing together more than two decades of senior leadership and board-level experience across multiple industries. With extensive operational and investment exposure throughout Europe and the Middle East, Daniel established Graf Kapitalage to pursue disciplined, long-term investment opportunities built on strong fundamentals and active ownership. The firm has been developed from the ground up with a clear focus on governance, capital stewardship, and sustainable value creation.
We deploy capital with purpose, using investment as a tool to drive a clean, sustainable future while delivering attractive, risk-adjusted returns. Graf Kapitalage believes that long-term financial performance and responsible investment are mutually reinforcing. Our investment philosophy is rooted in identifying businesses with scalable models, defensible market positions, and capable leadership teams, and supporting them through their growth phases.
Our portfolio spans cyber, technology, energy and resources, and social enterprises. We take a selective approach to portfolio construction, seeking opportunities that demonstrate clear paths to value creation, operational resilience, and long-term relevance. Capital allocation decisions are guided by rigorous due diligence, disciplined risk management, and an emphasis on downside protection alongside growth potential.
Graf Kapitalage is an active, engaged investor. Our involvement extends well beyond the provision of capital. We work closely with management teams to strengthen governance frameworks, enhance operational performance, and implement scalable systems and processes. Drawing on our multidisciplinary experience, we support talent acquisition, strategic planning, and capital structuring, ensuring our partners are well-positioned to execute their strategies and deliver sustained returns.
By aligning our interests with those of founders, management teams, and co-investors, Graf Kapitalage seeks to build enduring partnerships that generate long-term value for all stakeholders
