Family Office?
We’re often asked whether Kinled is a “Family Office.” Our Chairman, Patrick Aisher, doesn’t hesitate: “Absolutely not. ‘Family Office’ is a dreadful term—dreamt up by banks, accountants, and consultants to describe a rigid, generic structure that exists purely to preserve wealth, inflate egos, and rack up fees for advisors.”
At Kinled, we believe in creating wealth—not just financial, but in opportunity, purpose, and progress—for our partners, team members, co-investors, and shareholders. We’re proud to do so alongside carefully selected funds and investment vehicles, some of which we manage directly, and some managed by other trusted partners.
Patrick Aisher argues that the traditional Family Office model is often too narrow in scope to support true innovation.
“The funds we commit to breakthrough technologies help finance genuine scientific progress in emerging industries. Supporting academic institutions and research centres across the Alpine region and beyond demands patience and a long-term mindset—something only families willing to take real risks are prepared to offer.”
Traditional Family Offices, he believes, often shy away from such ventures.
“Their advisors are rarely comfortable with high-risk, high-reward investments. Kinled—and my family in particular—approach this very differently.”

So, what is Kinled?
Kinled is a privately held investment company with a heritage spanning over a century. It has always been wholly owned and managed by the Anglo-Austrian Aisher family.
While we’ve worked with many outstanding executives, directors, partners, and advisors over the decades, one principle has remained unchanged: the business is run by the family, for the family.
Our approach to investing is long-term and adaptive, shaped by each generation. We’re proud that four generations of Aishers—entrepreneurs, inventors, and industrialists—have built and scaled successful companies, many of which have gone on to list on global stock exchanges or been acquired by industry leaders.
Since 1924, we’ve championed innovation in sectors including:
-
Building materials and concrete
-
Plastics and automotive components
-
Retail and real estate
-
Geospatial data software
-
Biotech, and precision medicine
-
Fintech and Banking
-
Robotics and quantum computing
With the fifth and sixth generations now emerging, the next chapter will bring new ideas, new industries, and new frontiers.
The Kinled Private Client division exists to provide a platform for qualified individuals to co-invest with Kinled in these future opportunities.
What sets Kinled apart?
As a family-owned and managed business, we operate with a different set of priorities. We’re not beholden to institutional investors or external shareholders chasing short-term returns. Our greatest strength is patience—we understand that meaningful innovation takes time, and we see that as a strategic advantage.
We don’t get everything right. And when we don’t, the family shares in the consequences alongside our partners. But more often than not, we get it right—and when we do, we reinvest those returns into future innovation.
This belief in long-term value creation is what drives us to fund and build incubator-accelerator facilities in Austria and Switzerland, in collaboration with universities and research institutes around the world.

Building Bridges to the Future
An old man, going a lone highway,
Came at the evening, cold and gray,
To a chasm vast and deep and wide,
Through which was flowing a sullen tide.
The old man crossed in the twilight dim;
The sullen stream had no fear for him;
But he turned, when safe on the other side,
And built a bridge to span the tide.
“Old man,” said a fellow pilgrim near,
“You are wasting strength with building here;
Your journey will end with the ending day,
You never again will pass this way;
You’ve crossed the chasm, deep and wide—
Why build this bridge at evening tide?”
The builder lifted his old gray head:
“Good friend, in the path I have come,” he said,
“There followeth after me today
A youth, whose feet must pass this way.
This chasm that has been naught to me
To that fair-haired youth may a pitfall be;
He, too, must cross in the twilight dim—
Good friend, I am building this bridge for him.”
This poem has long inspired our family’s ethos.
As Sir Owen Aisher often said:
“Aim to leave this world a little better than when you came into it.”
That principle remains at the heart of everything we do.
