We’re interested in companies with visionary leadership, an exceptional team, a strong and realistic business plan, and the potential to become a market leader.

We invest in every sector of the economy, but prioritize: Education, Energy, Health & Tech.

How we invest

Compass provides companies with equity in exchange for a minority stake of 15 to 40% of the ordinary share capital. “We don’t control nor run the companies ourselves, we support and ensure their autonomous, long-term success!” How?

  • By working closely with their leaders to increase the odds of their success.

Compass offers investees:

  • Strategic and operational support
