Blue Lion Family Office

Blue Lion is the single-family office of the entrepreneurial Schörghuber family, based in Munich, Germany. The firm serves as the central entity for the family to consolidate its financial assets, regional holdings, and investments across private equity and venture capital. Its investment philosophy centers on enhancing the "quality of life," guiding its activities to fulfill fundamental human needs such as secure living spaces, high-quality food, and opportunities for experiences and identity. The family's significant operational interests in real estate, food & beverage, and hospitality are primarily managed under the Schörghuber Group.

The roots of the Schörghuber family's entrepreneurial endeavors trace back to 1954, marking a long-standing tradition of sustainable business practices. While the family's business interests have evolved over decades, Blue Lion as a dedicated family office structure manages the diversified portfolio. The firm is guided by values of being family-oriented, quality-driven, and appreciative, emphasizing diligence, discipline, and foresight in its investment approach and interactions with partners.

Blue Lion's investment strategy is multifaceted, encompassing direct operational participations in businesses complementary to the Schörghuber Group's core sectors, with revenue targets between €20 million and €200 million in Europe. Its venture capital arm actively seeks opportunities in areas like Proptech, Agritech, Machine Economy, Artificial Intelligence, Fintech, Insurtech, Consumer Goods, E-Commerce, and Software Applications, investing across Seed to Later Stage companies in Europe, Switzerland, the UK, USA, and Israel. Additionally, the firm engages in fund-based investments in private equity, venture capital, and agriculture, with ticket sizes ranging from €1 million to €20 million, extending its reach to Latin America.

The firm's portfolio includes direct investments in cable car operations and golf courses, as well as a leading European insurtech company. Past exits highlight a diverse investment history, including stakes in major beverage bottlers, a winery, a prefabricated house provider, and an aircraft leasing company. Beyond its investment activities, Blue Lion demonstrates a strong commitment to social responsibility through two foundations: the Josef Schörghuber-Stiftung for children in Munich, established in 1995, and the Stefan Schörghuber Stiftung, founded in 2019 by Alexandra Schörghuber and her children, which supports child and youth welfare, science, and research projects.
