Kite Capital is a private equity investment and advisory platform led by Christian B. Mueller, built on 20+ years of experience.

Christian helped make the first institutional investment in mobile.de, co-founded Auctus Capital Partners, and achieved double-digit money multiples in exits to international private equity firms. Today, he primarily invests his own capital and supports entrepreneurs in achieving their ambitions.

Besides making commitments to private equity funds and single assets as an LP, Kite Capital leads investments in single assets, with or without co-investors. Together with co-investors, we can underwrite lower middle market investments and arrange larger transactions.

We focus on buyouts, buy-and-build platforms, and minority stakes in profitable European companies, particularly in technology and services businesses.

Operating mainly as a family office, Kite Capital combines deep private equity expertise with unusual freedom and complete flexibility – unlike institutional capital and advisers.

We move quickly and get things done at the most senior level, with maximum efficiency. Besides, we greatly enjoy discussing Mediterranean lifestyles, kitesurfing, and other beautiful things 😎

Leveraging deep experience and a strong network, we selectively advise entrepreneurs and operators on private equity matters with full discretion.

We also support entrepreneurs in selling stakes in their businesses and resolving succession situations, with a focus on creating genuine win-win-win outcomes.
