Wölbern Private Equity GmbH (WPE) is an independent private equity company that invests in funds as well as directly in companies.

Equity investments in non-listed companies are the focus of our activities.

The management team of WPE can draw from many years of experience in the private equity business as well as from expertise in the relevant industries. Along with our investment business we also manage the Wölbern Group private equity funds. This entails, in addition to the conception and sales support, the acquisition of suitable assets and the ongoing support of the funds.

As of today we have launched three funds with a focus on:

-          cross-sector buyouts

-          life science

-          cleantech

Our buyout funds are set up as fund-of-funds whereas our life science and cleantech funds are “hybrid funds”. Hybrid funds invest in private equity target funds as well as directly in companies.

WPE is a full member of the German Private Equity and Venture Capital Association, BVK (Bundesverband deutscher Kapitalbeteiligungsgesellschaften).
