the opportunity

Between venture and growth —
a €1B+ blind spot.
We own it.

After a decade of capital chasing scalability at all costs, the most compelling opportunities are no longer in early-stage bets or late-stage multiples. They sit in the middle — ignored, undervalued, and ready.

Too large for venture. Too niche for traditional PE. These companies have solved a real problem, built loyal customer bases, and demonstrated their value.What they lack is not ambition.

That is the TGO moment.

THE MODEL

Evergreen. Not a fund. An Alliance.

A clear objective: create lasting, measurable, and distributable value over time.

Traditional PE / VC fund

Trapped in a fixed timeline

Fixed 7–10 year lifespan — forced exits regardless of market conditions
Passive LP capital — no operational value-add
Management fees regardless of performance
The Good Ones

Built to last, built to compound

bulb
 15% IRR
No forced exit — we hold as long as value creation continues, with planned liquidi ty moments along the way
Operators with skin in the game — capital + time + network on the line
Investor network earns return by contributing access, governance, and introductions
01

A distinctive investment thesis

European specialized software, 1–20M€ ARR, serving retail — each investment part of a coherent, interoperable ecosystem.

02

Active partnership, not passive capital

Your experience and network directly contribute to performance — governance, market access, business introductions.

03

Methodical risk management

We only back companies profitable or near profitability, with proven product-market fit and a loyal customer base.

OUR THESIS

We back proven retail tech in the overlooked middle.

We target B2B Software companies that have already earned their market, with real revenue, real customers, and real product-market fit.
But lack the structure, the network, or the capital to reach their full potential.

€1–20M

ARR. Established businesses with proven market traction,  not pre-revenue bets.

B2B SOFTWARE

Specialised software solving precise operational challenges for retail networks.

Retail

Solutions for store networks, omnichannel, workforce, or commerce. Our sector, exclusively.

AI Compatible

Companies that have embraced the AI shift and leveraged it to accelerate product, operations, or customer value.

AI-enhanced, not AI-dependent.

AMBITION

THE TEAM

Operators first. Investors second.

We've been there before, building, scaling, transforming retail tech companies. At TGO, we invest our own capital, expertise and time alongside the teams we back.

The retail tech sector is full of companies that have earned their place but never had the right conditions to scale. TGO was built to change that, by putting operators with real accountability at the centre of every investment.
