What we look for
Operational track record
Demonstrated ability to create value through EBITDA growth, margin improvement, and hands-on operational involvement — not just financial engineering.
Sector focus and sourcing edge
A clear thesis with proprietary deal flow. We prefer managers in B2B services, healthcare, industrials, and tech-enabled services with a defensible sourcing advantage.
Experience and commitment
Prior PE, operating, or advisory experience with a minimum €100K GP commitment. Leverage discipline and a credible value creation playbook are non-negotiable.
Chosen by leading funds and institutions
Getting Allocator One as our anchor changed how every other LP saw us. We closed institutional investors who would never have met us without that signal behind us.

GP, Oakmont Ventures
The Allocator One batch program was unlike anything I expected. The peer group, LP introductions, and Demo Day got us to first close in half the time I'd planned.

GP, VoltOne
Allocator One backed us when we were unknown first-timers. Their anchor commitment and network opened doors that would have taken years to open on our own.
