Holtzbrinck Digital

Holtzbrinck Digital’s portfolio is divided into the three segments Holtzbrinck Digital Strategy, Holtzbrinck Digital Incubation and Holtzbrinck Digital Services.

When selecting its investments Holtzbrinck Digital focuses on market leaders with proven business models. They must be capable of further development and growth in cooperation with Holtzbrinck Digital – a competent owner willing to make a long-term commitment. Holtzbrinck Digital is not looking for a quick exit but rather to achieve sustainable joint success in the market.

At the same time Holtzbrinck Digital establishes and develops innovative start-ups that launch new business models and ideas and benefit from the extensive expertise and connections of the Georg von Holtzbrinck publishing group.

Holtzbrinck Digital organises the portfolio management of its investee companies such that their managing directors are able to act as entrepreneurs, delivering outstanding strategic and operational performance. At the same time Holtzbrinck Digital supports the companies with functional expertise in the areas of marketing, technology and finance in order to secure and boost the sustainable success. The benefits of the decentralised organisational structure are also used to full advantage – every company can and must develop its own business autonomously.

Drawing on their experience of numerous investments and start-ups, the team at Holtzbrinck Digital contributes a wealth of knowledge about company management and wide-ranging technological assistance. The portfolio companies also benefit from a broad network, both within Holtzbrinck Digital and as part of the broader publishing group.
