Founded by Peter Maenhout, a former managing director at Gimv, the firm consists of a diverse team featuring entrepreneurs, former CEOs, and digital pioneers. The team aims to add value to companies through collaboration and strategic guidance. With their experience in business transformation and digitization, M80 Partners primarily operates in the healthcare, business services, and manufacturing sectors.

M80 Partners targets midsize companies with sales ranging from €25 million to €300 million, and EBITDA between €5 million and €30 million, preferring to invest between 10 and 60 million euros in equity.
