Henry-Yves Coco and Maximilian Kröll, two entrepreneurs passionate about German SMEs, launched Nexus Partners a few months ago with the aim of acquiring a medium-sized company and continuing to run it with dedication, foresight, and responsibility. They have attracted a diverse group of experienced SF investors from Europe and North America, including Leon Bartolomé, Sascha Bovensmann, Cabiedes Inversiones, evolutiq, Forti SF Partners, ONEtoONE Asset Management, Pierre-Paul Benoit & Guerric Faure (LeFonds), Pina Capital, Lukas Matzinger, Simon Webster, SFClub, Carsten Schemmel, TTCER, Tres Coronas, and Vonzeo.
Henry-Yves brings more than ten years of experience across industries such as automotive, business and consulting services, energy, hospitality, food, retail and eCommerce. As a management consultant and operations manager, he led international growth projects, operational excellence initiatives and complex interim mandates in both medium-sized companies and corporations. He also supported group-wide buy and build strategies and contributed to revenue, margin and cost programs. He holds an Executive MBA from the TUM School of Management in Munich and Berkeley.
Maximilian has eight years of experience in medium-sized companies in the real estate sector, shaping his expertise in company development and scaling. For more than five years, he worked closely with management and supported the company’s growth from 20 to around 70 employees. He oversaw large projects in the hundreds of millions of euros, from strategic planning and development through evaluation and execution in a complex environment with subcontractors, multiple stakeholders and regulatory requirements. In this role, he gained valuable experience in the management and strategic oversight of medium-sized enterprises. He also holds an Executive MBA from the TUM School of Management.
Nexus Partners is seeking profitable SMEs with an enterprise value of €8–30 million, stable cash flows, recurring or repeatable revenue, and a clear value proposition for customers. Their primary focus is on B2B services, software and tech-enabled services, light industrials, testing and inspection, and niche manufacturing. The common thread among target companies is a strong market position, predictable demand, and business models where long-term value can be created through operational improvements and commercial growth. Given their expertise, they also maintain a particular focus on real estate-related businesses.
