C3 Advisory is a specialized portfolio management and advisory firm working with technology venture portfolios across the full company lifecycle — from early-stage build-up to transformation and exit.
We combine venture capital and private equity experience with entrepreneurship and operational leadership. This allows us to bridge the gap between strategy and execution and to deliver value-driven solutions that work in real operating environments, not just in investment memos.
Our work spans early-stage financing, scaling organizations, and navigating critical growth phases, as well as restructuring, strategic repositioning, and special situations in more mature portfolios.
We do not aim to be passive advisors. We take entrepreneurial responsibility and actively shape outcomes — hands-on, data-driven, and accountable.
We work side by side with founders and management teams as active partners in building, scaling, and transforming technology-driven businesses. Rather than limiting our role to oversight or capital allocation, we engage hands-on to help companies navigate complexity and create sustainable long-term value.
We focus on companies with differentiated products, scalable business models, and strong market potential. Our partners are ambitious teams with deep domain expertise and the drive to build resilient, internationally relevant organizations.
Our support combines strategic direction with operational execution — from sharpening business models and go-to-market strategies to scaling teams, preparing financings, and managing exit processes. We help management teams make better decisions and execute them with confidence.
As committed partners, not passive shareholders, we bring experience, structure, and access to a global network. Our goal is to systematically unlock opportunities, reduce risk, and increase enterprise value across the portfolio.
Ultimately, our work is about one thing: Enabling companies to reach their full potential and build businesses that last.

C3 Advisory manages a diversified portfolio of technology-driven early- and growth-stage companies building innovative B2B and consumer products as well as digital services.
Our portfolio spans software, platform models, data and AI, deep tech, and digital-first businesses. Across these sectors, our companies share strong innovation capabilities, scalable operating models, and the ambition to compete internationally.
While our core portfolio is centered in Europe, we work closely with selected companies in the United States and Asia. This international reach enables us to unlock global market opportunities, build cross-border synergies, and systematically transfer operational best practices.
By combining active management with strategic and operational support, we help our portfolio companies scale sustainably and prepare for successful financing events and exits.
