Background
Joško Vučetić is a Managing Partner at Caper d.o.o., the independent Zagreb-based advisory boutique that operates as Oaklins' exclusive member firm in Croatia. Caper focuses on mid-market mergers and acquisitions, fundraising, and operational and financial restructuring; over roughly 15+ years the firm reports advising more than 50 clients on transactions worth over USD 1.2 billion. Vučetić leads the firm alongside founder and Managing Partner Željko Perić.
He joined the firm in 2005. Before that he spent two years at Lura (one of the largest dairy companies in Central and Eastern Europe, later part of Dukat), and prior to that two years at Pliva, then the largest pharmaceutical company in the CEE region, working on M&A. This industry-side experience underpins his focus on food & beverage and consumer businesses.
Vučetić studied at the Syracuse University School of Management in New York, majoring in finance and supply chain management. Over his career he has worked on numerous cross-border acquisitions across multiple sectors, with an aggregate deal value that his firm describes as exceeding USD 1 billion. His stated areas of specialization include corporate and project finance, divestments, and restructurings.
His profile notes work with major Croatian and regional corporates including Kraš, Podravka, Atlantic Group, Gavrilović, and Crodux — a client roster concentrated in food, consumer, and energy.
Investment Thesis & Focus
- Operates on an advisory basis (buy-side and sell-side M&A, corporate/project finance, and restructuring) rather than deploying angel/seed capital — founders seeking equity checks should treat this as a sell-side/M&A relationship, not a fund.
- Sector concentration: food & beverage, consumer & retail, and energy, with additional executed deals in TMT, healthcare, financial services, and logistics.
- Deal type: mid-market, often cross-border transactions connecting Croatian/Adriatic companies with regional and international strategic and private-equity buyers (e.g., Studenac, Petrol Group, One Equity Partners).
- What makes a fit: established, mid-market companies (frequently in food/consumer/energy) preparing for a sale, acquisition, capital raise, or restructuring — not early-stage startups seeking seed funding.
Notable Investments
- Crodux LPG → Petrol Group — energy sector divestiture/acquisition.
- Infigo IS → Allurity AB — cybersecurity/TMT acquisition.
- Implant Centre Martinko → Adria Dental Group — healthcare roll-up.
- Kitro → NTL — consumer & retail transaction.
- Lonia / Pemo / Sonik / Strahinjčica → Studenac — series of grocery/retail consolidations for PE-backed Studenac.
- Remaris (majority stake) → Payten — financial services / TMT.
- Spin Valis → Pervanovo Invest AB — Croatian premium furniture producer welcoming a new investor.
- Client relationships include Kraš, Podravka, Atlantic Group, Gavrilović, and Crodux (food, consumer, energy).
