Investments

Burda invests specifically in companies and business models that have the potential to transform markets and achieve sustainable growth. Our investment strategy combines entrepreneurial experience with a long-term perspective and focuses on two key areas: corporate M&A and Burda Principal Investments.

Burda Principal Investments (BPI) provides long-term growth capital for dynamic digital technology and media companies. As an active, long-term partner, BPI supports ambitious founding teams worldwide on their path to global scaling.

Corporate M&A supports the strategic goals of the group and its operating units through targeted majority investments in companies that complement the existing portfolio or provide new impetus for the group's growth.

With a clear focus on innovation, digitalization, and internationalization, Burda pursues the goal of building strong partnerships and creating sustainable value together with entrepreneurs.
