After the foundation of Chess24 in 2014 out of our group of companies and the successful merger with Play Magnus in 2019, we can be pleased about our premiere on the stock market. In the course of the IPO, we sold part of our shares. In December 2022, the Play Magnus Group was taken private again through the acquisition by Chess.com. This transaction resulted in a full exit.
In our investment strategy, we pursue the goal of bringing our portfolio firms into profitable growth through scalable business models. We believe that companies should generally pursue a strategy that is geared towards generating profits in order to be successful in the long term. We view it with caution when a business model does not follow a clear monetization roadmap, but only relies on growth through financing rounds. Accordingly, we always work with our management teams in the individual investments against the backdrop of this conviction.
