AND INVESTORS
What?
LS&C invests in and acquires as Single Family Office Companies, Digital Assets and Real Estate.
How?
Independence in equity management at LS&C ensures rapid yet mindful investment choices, reflecting the owners entrepreneurial ethos.
Why?
In the face of increasingly accelerating progress, we want to leave behind traces to lead steadfast into a better future. That is why we desire to joyously tear down existing concepts when they have become obsolete burdens and give our all to develope and build new sustainable structures. This is how we manage to maintain our core values in a constantly changing environment while using the ever rising tide of digitisation for our purposes rather than being swept away by the current zeitgeist and do what we love most – to create substance.
What is LS&C?
A family office, representing the personal and strategic investment vehicle of entrepreneur Ludwig Schroedl. LS&C is exclusively utilizing its own capital to foster a dynamic and forward-thinking portfolio. Distinct in its approach, we operate independently, free from external fund influences, allowing for direct alignment with our investment principles. This structure ensures legal clarity and a strong focus on innovative investments that reflect our commitment to driving progress and value.
Which companies is LS&C acquiring?
At LS&C, we focus on acquiring businesses that align with our strategic vision and offer unique opportunities for growth. We look for: Exceptional Businesses with a Moat: We aim for businesses with a competitive advantage and the ability to compound revenue and earnings over time. These rare gems, when found, allow us to maintain their legacy while driving further growth. Turnaround Opportunities: We target simple businesses with at-risk models that we can acquire at favorable terms, ensuring a short payback period. By implementing high-certainty growth levers, we create additional margin of safety, often transforming these businesses into consistent cash generators. Mismanaged Gems: Companies with great potential but struggling due to management issues or cost inefficiencies are a key focus. We excel at improving operations in the short term while crafting long-term strategies for substantial growth.
Ideal Criteria: High margins, sustainable revenue, and profitability. Unique advantages, such as a strong brand, niche, or community. Simple, understandable business models. Proven operations with a healthy profit of $500K to $50MM and at least three years of success. A strong, ethical team and positive company culture.
Which companies attract direct investments from LS&C?
Our investment strategy is guided by a dynamic playbook that prioritizes founder-market-product fit above all else. While health and longevity are areas of deep interest, our approach is not confined to any single sector. Instead, we seek out opportunities where our involvement can act as a force multiplier—whether in founding, scaling, or exiting a company. If a business aligns with criteria for innovation, strategic potential, and the ability to create a 10x impact with our support, we will invest, regardless of the industry.
How to request paid help from LS&C?
In recent years, we’ve received countless requests for personalized, paid consultancy services from both family offices seeking strategic insights and (early-stage) companies looking for guidance. Until now, we’ve consistently declined these requests. Finding and retaining top talent with the specialized skill set we require is incredibly rare. We’ve been fortunate to build a team of the best, but their time is extremely valuable and limited. For that reason, we’ve only been able to laser-focus their attention on our portfolio companies. However, with growing demand, we’ve now carefully opened up select opportunities for collaboration through lsandc.club for companies that pass our application process and present clear potential for future investment. This does not guarantee an immediate investment, but it allows us to assess the business case through a period of cooperation. If we see alignment in vision and opportunity, investment may follow.
What drives the interest in Digital Assets?
Our commitment to Digital Assets is not just an investment strategy; it's a belief in the transformative power of blockchain. Our approach is discerning and visionary, seeking out projects where technology meets practicality, ensuring our investments are not just profitable, but pivotal. We believe in the potential of decentralized systems to redefine transactions, empower individuals, and create a more equitable digital economy. We are not just participants in this digital revolution; we are its advocates and architects. At LS&C, we're forging a future where digital assets are integral to global progress, reflecting our deep-rooted belief in innovation, integrity, and impact. We are also Bitcoin long - very long.
Since when is LS&C investing?
LS&C has been actively operating as a company since 2020, with our foundation rooted in the early investments made by our founder, through his first operational company since 2016. Over these years, we have successfully leveraged strategic assets to build a robust, eight-figure portfolio. Our portfolio is carefully balanced, ensuring solidity and resilience even under challenging market conditions.
Can third parties invest in LS&C?
Currently, LS&C operates exclusively with its own capital and does not offer direct investment opportunities for third parties. However, we welcome opportunities for co-investment where external investors can invest alongside us in specific ventures. This approach allows us to maintain our strategic investment focus while offering collaborative investment opportunities under specific conditions.
