Where do we invest

Insight invests in companies with growth potential, recovery or profitability improvement, in Portugal or abroad.

We will participate in well-defined projects with a determined market that promote new technologies and qualified human capital.

Our investment is multi-stage in greenfield and brownfield projects, from Seed-capital to restructuring, of small and medium-sized companies.

We look for sectors in renovation, energy, waste, health, tourism, transport, logistics and industry that need new processes and technologies.

The aim is to select companies that show, alternatively or cumulatively:
• Large markets and rapid growth;
• High EBITDA that increase with the growth of the business;
• Market niches and competitive differentiation.

Insight shares the risk with entrepreneurs and partners who co-invest with it.
