Who we are

If you know where to look, you can find brilliance in any market.

If anything, bad markets make it easier to spot. Believe us, we got our start in 1999. From breakthrough products and processes to innovative tools and techniques, brilliance can take many forms. But it’s in people where it shines brightest. Then and now, we are united in our belief that technology can change the world and driven by a greater understanding — belief alone isn’t going to cut it.

For technology to reach its potential, tech leaders need to reach theirs. Our process is defined by presence. With more than 120 colleagues in 13 offices spanning Europe, the US, and Asia, we champion tech leadership, providing access to and investing in tech leaders around the world.

Our advisory services, honed through advising on 600 transactions worth a total of $39 billion, span from capital raising to mergers and acquisitions. With an unrivalled international network and benchmarking, combined with deep sector expertise, we are able to maximise equity value and sector-specific deal flow.

Through our Late Stage Venture Team, we offer investors access to category-leading software and AI companies. With assets under management exceeding €900 million, we have partnered with over 28 billion-dollar industry leaders like Spotify, Klarna, Slack and EcoVadis, providing investors and founders with thematic investments in the late venture stages.
