Investment partners

Octopus Capital is a multidisciplinary investment group that focuses on long-term collaborations with partners, investors and employees in the tech sector. As it is with the octopus, our heart is close to our brain. Our tentacles reach out to our various companies that are supported from above, but have their own autonomy.

About Octopus Capital

"Octopus Capital's mission is to grow and let grow. We focus on companies that seem to be a perfect match in terms of vision, strategy and know-how.

We are not a Private Equity that often wishes to achieve returns in the short term. As an Investment Partner, we want to distinguish ourselves by optimizing the chances of success through active involvement and by focusing on good relationships and long-term results. We benefit from making our businesses financially stronger."

Our expertise

OCTOPUS CAPITAL is run by 4 passionate partners with more than 40 years of corporate experience. Due to highly positive investment experiences, the need grew to evolve from a years-long successful collaboration to a full investment partnership in 2021. Octopus Capital has a thorough expertise in the field of finance, investment and technicality. There is a strong conviction among our partners that a symbiosis between different companies is the guarantee for optimization, innovation and successful growth.

Our focus

Our TARGET COMPANIES are industrial companies with a focus on technical production or the sale of technical products. The Octopus Capital team has extensive experience in this segment and is full of ambition to optimize the various operations within the group through multidisciplinarity and synergy. Our focus is not only on Belgian companies, we also explore abroad in order to supplement the investment group with complementary companies.
