We provide financing through equity investments in funds (intermediated equity) and through direct co-investments in selected companies. Our institutional mandates as well as national and regional equity products tackle the fundraising gap for venture capital (VC), private equity (PE), and private credit (PC) funds, so they have more capital to invest in European SMEs. Over the years we have been investing in first-time teams, emerging markets, nascent sectors - and helping proven teams close bigger funds.
