Long-term financial stability is as a guiding principle for us. We call it Accelerated Profitability.
Accelerated Profitability
Long-term financial stability as a guiding principle
There is a viable alternative to growth at all cost.
The traditional venture capital model encourages companies to prioritise growth before a solid financial foundation. While this approach can work for some, it too often leads to high burn rates and reliance on additional capital, compromising the stability of the business early on. In contrast, our Accelerated Profitability approach balances growth with financial stability parameters from the beginning.
Financial stability first - then double-down on growth
We prioritize a strong financial base early on. This sets the stage for an accelerated, sustainable expansion.
Minimized Risk
Our businesses become self-sustaining before they scale, reducing financial uncertainty.
Resilience
A solid foundation makes our businesses more resilient to market dynamics.
Confident Growth
Financial security allows us to drive growth with confidence and predictability.

Helloparts
When your car goes into a workshop after an accident, three parties have to agree before anything gets fixed. The insurer decides on the claim and where it goes. The workshop needs the right part, fast, at a price that works. The distributor needs to know what's in stock and what to charge. For decades that meant many phone calls, letters, emails, faxes, and a lot of waiting. helloparts replaced all this. Insurers steer claims through it's platform. Workshops order parts with one click. Distributors can run their inventory and pricing on it. AI makes the whole process even faster. Matching, ordering and routing that took days now happens while the car is still on the ramp. Today helloparts is involved in the majority of automotive aftermarket orders in Germany. Nobody outside the industry knows the name, because it never appears on the invoice. That is what a Hidden Champion looks like. It was started by Nico, one of GoGroup's founding partners, together with Stephan Otto, who had spent 25 years in the automotive sector prior to starting helloparts. Stephan knew which phone calls needed to stop happening. Nico knew how to build the thing that would stop them.
TrustSpace
A 400-person manufacturer in Baden-Württemberg has the same attackers as a Berlin SaaS company, the same regulators, and the same certificates to earn. What it doesn't have is everything in the cloud. It has machines on the shop floor, servers in the basement, a two-person IT team, and thirty years of systems that were never designed to be audited. New requirements like NIS2 pull tens of thousands of companies into scope that have never been audited before. While VC-funded players chased startups and enterprises already in the cloud, Trustspace built for the typical Hidden Champion. It gets companies compliant, then gives them the tools to stay compliant with almost no ongoing effort. The audits get passed. More importantly the protection is real, as attacks get more sophisticated and requirements keep getting heavier. The backbone of the German economy is not cloud native. It's essential and absolutely worth protecting it. Trustspace is leading the charge.
We build Hidden Champions.
