This week I caught up with Mark Flood, Director at Renatus Capital Partners, a private equity fund manager focused on investing in Irish SMEs.

In this conversation, we cover a wide range of topics from the early days of the business and how they raised their first fund, to their investment process at Renatus and what they look for when buying a business.

Mark also brings me through an example of an investment they made in the burrito chain Boojum – and his thoughts on why the CEO is the most important factor in determining the value of any business. 

Every Sunday, Renatus issue a newsletter synopsising the latest deal activity, company performance and people moves.

They also include their top macroeconomic-related tweets, thought for the week and other topics of interest to our stakeholders.
