Entrepreneurship
We invest in potential by working alongside entrepreneurs, supporting disciplined growth and long-term value creation.
Our manifesto
There is a kind of value that does not appear in a quarterly report. It is what remains when the investment is sold. A business that is stronger than we found it. A team that knows how to keep moving forward. A community with something to show for the years.
This is what we mean by "NEXT." Not the NEXT quarter. Not the NEXT cycle. Value that is designed to last: sustained, compounded, shared.
We are 21 NEXT, a European platform for alternative investments. Three decades of private equity through 21 Invest. Deep expertise in infrastructure, energy transition and private credit through 21 Tages.
Independent teams, united by a shared standard of excellence. The platform does not replace the work. It amplifies it. Knowledge moves across teams. Scale becomes strength. What each team builds reaches further than any single team could achieve alone.
Capital is what enters. What endures is everything that follows.
Our five core principles
Talent
We rely on capable people. We attract and develop individuals who combine judgement, responsibility and execution.
Integrity
We act with consistency and responsibility. Our decisions are guided by experience, discipline and long-term perspective.
Innovation
We improve the way we invest through shared knowledge, continuous learning and the application of experience across teams.
Partnership
We build long-term relationships with entrepreneurs and co-investors, based on alignment, trust and shared objectives.
Our approach in action
Principles only matter when they reach the work. Here are early, concrete ways the platform is already changing how the teams operate.
