The C4 Growth Hub

From start-up to scale-up

C4, the “Growth Engineers”

As “growth engineers”, we have been supporting the targets with our extensive experience since C4 was founded in 2001. Previously, we were industry consultants, investment bankers (25 IPOs, numerous M&A transactions), top managers, board members of listed companies and supervisory board members of listed growth companies.

We have gained a lot of experience in line responsibility, but also in our more than 24 years at C4, which we are happy to pass on.

As a rule, our Growth Hub targets remain at the location for 1 to 3 years before they move to a scale-up location due to their size. During this multi-year process, the C4 Growth Hub targets are offered a growth environment among similar targets in addition to a very cost-effective top office infrastructure and free coaching.

For its coaching services, C4 receives a 4% share of the increase in value of the respective target in the form of a success fee at the time of exit or change of control. Until then, no costs are incurred for the consultancy. A side effect is that the C4 Growth Hub targets usually develop extensive synergies with each other after a short time.
