Direct Investments

We invest in companies, not only in transactions

ERAM Invest evaluates direct investments and acquisitions of third-party businesses. We may acquire a minority shareholding, take a majority position or buy an entire company, depending on the owners’ objectives, the investment case, governance and available capital.

Ways to work with us

Growth capital. An investment that supports expansion while existing owners retain an agreed ownership position.

Partial liquidity. Purchase of part of an owner’s shares, potentially alongside new capital for the company.

Majority investment. A change of control with agreed governance, management continuity and strategic priorities.

Full acquisition. A sale of the company, potentially with a transition arrangement for founders or management.

Co-investment. ERAM Invest may consider a transaction with qualified capital partners under separately agreed terms.

Our decision process

Initial confidential discussion → preliminary fit → information review → indicative terms where appropriate → commercial, financial, legal and other due diligence → internal approvals → definitive documents and closing.

We may decline at any stage, and no statement on this site is an offer to invest.

Where we can invest directly

Alongside the industries covered on our sector pages, we consider direct investment in technology and life-science businesses. These are the areas we are prepared to look at, and what we examine in each.

A sector listed here does not mean we hold a position in it, that capital is allocated to it, or that any particular case will proceed. The conditions below govern all of it.

AI & SaaS
Recurring revenue quality, customer retention, gross margin and the cost of serving each account.
Cybersecurity
Product defensibility, the compliance pressure that drives purchase, contract length and renewal behaviour.
Healthtech
Clinical validation, the reimbursement pathway, data protection obligations and regulatory approval.
Fintech
The licensing and regulatory perimeter, unit economics, capital requirements and risk controls.
Blockchain / Web3
Regulatory classification, custody and key management, and the business the technology is actually serving.
Consumer Apps
Acquisition cost against lifetime value, retention by cohort, and dependence on a single channel.
Mobility & Transportation
Asset intensity, utilisation, fleet financing and the regulatory position in each market served.
EdTech
Procurement cycles, accreditation, completion rates and exposure to public budgets.
Gaming
The content pipeline, platform dependency, user-acquisition economics and revenue concentration by title.
Biotech & Life Sciences
Stage of development, trial design and funding runway, intellectual property and the route to approval.

ERAM Invest may invest independently, together with Kelmendi Holdings companies, or alongside strategic investors, family offices, private-equity investors, financial institutions and other qualified capital partners.

We invest and acquire

ERAM Invest invests its own or affiliated capital and acquires shares. Our economic interest sits alongside the business.

We advise and arrange

ERAM Invest advises clients and helps structure or arrange third-party financing. We act for the client; the capital comes from others.
