OG3 – Investor Deck
OG3 is a consolidation platform for the European optical retail market. This investor deck covers the following topics:
1. Market Opportunity
The European optical market is valued at €95 billion, with Germany as the largest market at €14.3 billion. The market is highly fragmented with over 11,500 independent opticians in Germany alone, creating a significant consolidation opportunity.
2. Demographics & Tailwinds
An aging population and increasing screen time drive structural demand growth. 67% of Germans wear corrective eyewear, and the prevalence of myopia is rising, especially among younger demographics.
3. Why Optical Retail
Optical retail is not classic retail: it is a healthcare-adjacent, prescription-driven market with recurring revenue, high margins, and strong customer loyalty. Average ticket sizes exceed €500 with gross margins of 60-70%.
4. Regulatory Advantage
Strict regulations in Germany (Handwerksordnung) create high barriers to entry and protect incumbent opticians from disruption by online-only players.
5. Business Model – Two Approaches
OG3 pursues a dual strategy: (1) Acquiring and integrating independent opticians, and (2) Building a technology platform to drive operational excellence across the portfolio.
6. Essilor Benchmark
EssilorLuxottica demonstrates the power of vertical integration in optics, achieving a market cap exceeding €100 billion through consolidation of the value chain.
7. OG3 Strategy & Levers
OG3 applies proven private equity levers: centralized procurement (10-15% savings), shared services, brand building, digital transformation, and professional management.
8. Detailed Playbook
A structured 100-day integration plan covers operations, IT migration, staff retention, procurement optimization, and marketing alignment for each acquired store.
9. Pipeline
OG3 has an active acquisition pipeline with multiple LOIs signed and a target of acquiring 50+ locations within the first 3 years.
10. Technology Platform
A proprietary platform for inventory management, CRM, appointment scheduling, and analytics drives efficiency and enables data-driven decision-making.
11. Business Plan
The 5-year business plan projects revenue growth from €5M to €75M+ with EBITDA margins expanding from 8% to 18%+ through operational improvements and scale effects.
12. Valuation & Value Bridge
Entry multiples of 4-5x EBITDA with target exit multiples of 8-10x EBITDA through platform premium, creating significant value for investors.
13. Sensitivity Analysis
Multiple scenario analyses demonstrate resilience across conservative, base, and upside cases with attractive risk-adjusted returns in all scenarios.
14. Transaction Benchmarks
Comparable M&A transactions in European healthcare and optical retail validate the valuation framework and exit multiple assumptions.
15. Investment Structure
The investment round targets €10-15M in equity to fund the initial acquisition phase and platform development.

Experienced leadership team combining optical retail expertise, M&A execution, technology development, and portfolio management capabilities.
