Nobel Investments

Overview

Nobel Investments is a family office investment firm focused on private equity investments in well-built owner-operated companies. Their investment approach is inspired by Alfred Nobel's philosophy of continuous innovation, quality work, positive impact, and building lasting businesses. They believe that in a knowledge-based economy, talent is at the core of every organization's success. The firm primarily invests in the Human Capital sector, including recruiting, staffing, payroll, and HR solutions, as well as service and maintenance businesses. They target companies with a revenue range of $10 million to over $600 million and an EBITDA of $2 million or more. Their geographical focus includes North America and Europe, with a particular emphasis on the United States and Sweden. Nobel Investments' unique value proposition is their access to an extensive executive network through their founder's work with ECA Partners. This network provides direct access to thousands of pre-vetted executives across various industries, enabling the firm to partner with top executives to accelerate company growth. Their investment horizon is typically long-term, ranging from 5 to 10 years or more, and they are open to seller roll-over equity in buy-out transactions. Their portfolio includes companies in the Human Capital sector, such as a leading K-12 substitute teacher staffing company, a specialized talent solutions provider in the education space, an executive search and project staffing firm for private equity and PE portfolio companies, and a rapidly growing RPO focused on healthcare, industrials, and manufacturing. Nobel Investments' investment philosophy centers on building upon company legacies to create sustainable, long-term business success. For business owners in the Human Capital space interested in exploring divestment, Nobel Investments offers to connect them with external deal partners, even if their business isn't the right fit for their portfolio. They are also interested in connecting with brokers who have deals aligned with their investment criteria to discuss potential opportunities and collaboration.
