Accelerating value creation.
Our value creation platform. Built around a network of operating partners and specialised capabilities to accelerate transformation, strengthen competitiveness and unlock growth opportunities.
One platform. Three strategies.
Abac Fast Forward supports the ambitions of our entire investment platform.
It connects investment conviction with operating capabilities, helping companies accelerate transformation, improve performance and build capabilities that last.
While each strategy focuses on different opportunities, all benefit from the same approach: combining investment expertise with operational execution.
How Abac Fast Forward supports each strategy.
The same operating discipline, calibrated differently across our three investment strategies.
Transforming established businesses.
We invest in established businesses with strong foundations and clear opportunities to improve how they operate, grow and compete.
Fast Forward plays a central role in this transformation. Working alongside management teams, it helps identify the initiatives that matter most, prioritise execution and mobilise the right capabilities across the business.
From operational performance and commercial excellence to digitalisation, procurement, governance, talent and organisational development, Fast Forward helps companies accelerate change with focus and discipline.
The objective is to help businesses become stronger, more efficient and better prepared to sustain value creation beyond our ownership.
Scaling validated businesses with discipline.
We invest in lower mid-market companies with proven business models, strong market relevance and the potential to scale across sectors shaped by resource efficiency, circularity and resilient value chains.
For these businesses, the next stage of growth requires more than capital. It requires execution capacity, professionalisation and the ability to scale without losing focus.
Fast Forward supports management teams in building that platform for growth: strengthening commercial execution, improving operational performance, developing organisational capabilities and embedding measurable objectives into the value creation plan.
The objective is to help validated businesses scale with discipline, expand their market position and reinforce the link between business success and long-term contribution.
Helping founders bridge from validation to scale.
Through Abac Nest Ventures, we invest in early-stage companies developing AI-native and infrastructure-grade technologies.
For founders, speed matters. But sustainable scale requires access to the right expertise, clients, industry knowledge and strategic guidance at the right time.
Fast Forward helps bridge that gap. By connecting founders with operating partners, corporate networks and functional expertise, Fast Forward supports the transition from product validation to commercial traction and scalable growth.
The objective is to help entrepreneurs build companies capable of solving meaningful operational challenges at scale.
Where Abac Fast Forward creates value.
Three operational levers deployed in every partnership, accelerated by Abac's unique digitalisation playbook, our transformation accelerator across the entire portfolio.
Institutionalisation
Building the governance, management team, reporting infrastructure and processes that turn a good business into an institutional-grade company, hands-on, from day one.
Inorganic Growth
Sourcing, executing and integrating add-on acquisitions that step-change scale, a buy-and-build discipline run by operators who have done it before.
International Expansion
Opening new markets beyond Iberia, commercial entry, partnerships and cross-border M&A supported by our international network of operating partners.
Abac's digitalisation playbook.
Data, automation and applied AI deployed across every portfolio company, compounding each lever and leaving capabilities that outlast our ownership.
Embedded from day one.
The platform works the way KKR-style operating teams do: inside the company, with a plan, accountable for outcomes.
Diagnose
The playbook enters during diligence: we underwrite the value creation plan before we sign.
Plan
A 100-day plan agreed with management, with owners, milestones and measurable targets.
Embed
Operating partners work inside the company, shoulder to shoulder with the teams.
Compound
Quarterly reviews and capabilities that keep compounding after our ownership ends.
Capabilities across the platform.
Cutting-edge functional expertise deployed by our operators wherever a company needs it.
