Upliift invests in businesses providing the essential technology that keeps manufacturers and distributors across Europe moving.
We focus on mission critical and hidden B2B software champions that underpins the industrial value chain — from the systems powering product design and shop-floor execution to the platforms driving quality management, supply chain visibility, warehousing, and logistics. These solutions help discrete, or process manufacturers and distributors improve efficiency, ensure compliance, and create seamless, data-driven workflows from production through to delivery.
We work with founders to build a more sustainable, resilient manufacturing and distribution ecosystem that delivers measurable benefits for businesses, employees, and customers alike.
Our flexible, permanent equity approach enables you to make a full or partial exit while safeguarding the future of your business.
We bring operational expertise, deep sector knowledge, and a collaborative mindset, so your business grows further, faster.
Many entrepreneurs can feel lonely. My father and I were a strong team, and we never operated alone. Now Upliift is able to provide that support, sounding board and specialist expertise that can drive growth in the right direction.
Upliift’s project has fascinated us and convinced us because it allowed us to have the vision for our company’s future. It involves Italian companies and it allows us to to expand in international markets, especially European and it was one of the things that attracted us to Upliift.
Other investors clearly saw us as just a number. Our history, values ambition didn’t factor. Upliift, however, understood us and shared our long-term vision. We knew they would be a true life-long partner – even after I’ve gone.
Working with Upliift, I am learning how to run the business in the future, as well as how to reorganize it, and what to put more focus on to develop the business.
We look forward to working with Upliift on acquisitions that broaden our offer to customers and help us capitalise on new market opportunities.
The advice I feel like sharing with other founders looking to sell is to find a partner with a plan, who fascinates you with medium and long-term vision and who allows you to keep your identity, the identity of your business, as well as your geographical location.
