Verifiable Impact: Our Legacy of Alpha and Integrity
A Focus on Returns Rooted in Fundamental Progress
At Gregor Quentin & Partners, our achievements are measured not only in terms of compounded annual growth rates (CAGR) but, equally importantly, by the fundamental, verifiable progress we facilitate across our core sectors. Our track record, underpinned by the deployment of our €989 million capital base, reflects a discipline of investing in complexity and scaling essential services. We believe that enduring financial alpha is a direct consequence of solving systemic, difficult problems. Our success stories are case studies in strategic foresight meeting operational excellence.
Highlighting Systemic Value Creation
Our portfolio boasts a robust history of investments that have defined their respective markets:
- Pioneering Data Resilience: We led the seed and subsequent growth funding rounds for a next-generation European zero-trust security platform, which now protects over 60% of critical network infrastructure for mid-sized European financial institutions. This investment achieved a 4.5x gross multiple upon exit, but its true achievement lies in demonstrably increasing regional data integrity and mitigating systemic cyber risk.
- Decentralizing Education: Our early commitment to an AI-driven vocational training platform has resulted in the certification of over half a million workers globally in advanced technical skills. This company’s valuation has grown by 600% in five years, reflecting the market’s recognition of solutions that effectively bridge the widening global skills gap.
- Accelerating New Energy Transition: We provided cornerstone financing for a revolutionary solid-state battery technology company, dramatically lowering the LCOE (Levelized Cost of Energy) for industrial storage. This has unlocked massive utility-scale projects, positioning the company as a market leader in Europe. This portfolio company continues to outperform, contributing significantly to both our internal rate of return (IRR) and measurable carbon reduction goals.
- Infrastructure for Tomorrow: Our investment in a high-speed, low-latency cross-border network infrastructure firm based out of the Netherlands has streamlined pan-European connectivity. This infrastructure is now a crucial backbone for financial trading and telemedicine, demonstrating how core infrastructure investments generate steady, superior returns while serving as economic enablers.
The Metrics of Strategic Success
Our commitment to strategic capital is validated by both quantitative performance and qualitative impact:
| Metric | Gregor Quentin & Partners Benchmark (Illustrative) | Industry Peer Average (Reference) | Key Takeaway |
| Gross Multiple on Invested Capital (MOIC) | Top Quartile Performance Across Vintage Years | Variable, often volatile | Consistent Alpha Generation through Disciplined Sector Focus. |
| Portfolio Companies with a Clear ESG Mandate | 100% of Active Portfolio | Typically 70-80% | Deep integration of Sustainability and Governance principles. |
| Average Holding Period | Longer than Market Average (5-7 Years) | 3-5 Years | Commitment to long-term value creation over short-term flips. |
| Follow-on Capital Commitment Rate | High (Demonstrating Conviction) | Moderate | We back our winners with sustained capital and strategic guidance. |
Our achievements are a direct result of our unique research-driven approach. We celebrate the financial metrics, but we are primarily defined by the lasting positive externalities of our investments. We don’t just invest in companies; we invest in systems, security, and the essential foundations required for a thriving global economy. This dual mandate—Alpha and Integrity—is the enduring measure of our success.
