UL Invest

UL Invest emerged in 2018 as a family office established by Laurent Useldinger following his successful exit from Ullink, a fintech enterprise specializing in trading order execution software. The organization functions as a diversified private investment vehicle with operations spanning four strategic asset categories: Real Estate, Private Equity & Venture Capital, Private Debt, and Hospitality. With a foundation built on Useldinger's extensive experience in financial technology, the firm leverages this expertise to identify promising investment opportunities across multiple sectors and geographies.

The real estate division, UL Immo, implements a value-creation strategy by targeting outdated structures and brownfield locations for transformation into premium residential, commercial, and hospitality developments. These projects specifically address ecological transition challenges while reimagining existing property uses. This approach demonstrates the firm's commitment to sustainable development principles while pursuing attractive financial returns through strategic property repositioning and development.

In the technology investment space, UL Invest's Private Equity & Venture Capital arm provides both capital infusion and operational guidance to high-potential companies, with a particular focus on the tech-SaaS ecosystem. This segment builds upon Useldinger's background in financial technology, allowing the firm to offer portfolio companies not just funding but also strategic insights and industry connections. Meanwhile, the Private Debt division extends financing across four distinct categories: Residential Real Estate, Commercial Real Estate, Hospitality, and Holdings, creating a diversified lending portfolio that complements the firm's equity investments.

The hospitality segment operates under the Mandi Collection brand, currently managing a portfolio of boutique hotels in Jericoacoara, Ceará, Brazil. This division is developing a distinctive brand identity centered on eco-tourism principles that emphasize wellness, athletic pursuits, and natural environments. This approach aligns with growing consumer demand for sustainable travel experiences while establishing a unique market position in the competitive hospitality sector. The geographic diversity of UL Invest's portfolio demonstrates the firm's global perspective and willingness to pursue opportunities across international markets.
